From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Lublin Voivodeship (Polish: województwo lubelskie) is a voivodeship or province in eastern Poland. It is bordered by six other voivodeships and shares an international border with Ukraine and Belarus. The voivodeship's capital and largest city is Lublin.

History

The Lublin Voivodeship was created on January 1, 1999, as a result of the Polish local government reforms passed in 1998. It includes the entirety of the former Lublin, Chełm, Zamość, Biała Podlaska, and Tarnobrzeg Voivodeships, and parts of the former Siedlce and Tarnów Voivodeships.

Geography

The Lublin Voivodeship covers an area of 25,122.48 square kilometers, making it the third largest voivodeship in Poland. It is characterized by its varied landscape, which includes the fertile plains of the South Podlasie Lowland, the forested hills of the Lublin Upland, and the marshy valleys of the Bug River.

Economy

The economy of the Lublin Voivodeship is primarily based on agriculture, with the region being one of Poland's leading producers of grain, potatoes, and livestock. Other significant sectors include food processing, manufacturing, and services. The voivodeship is also home to several higher education institutions, including the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University and the Lublin University of Technology.

Culture

The Lublin Voivodeship is known for its rich cultural heritage, which includes numerous historic sites, traditional folk crafts, and annual festivals. Among the region's most notable cultural attractions are the Lublin Castle, the Zamość Old Town, and the Kazimierz Dolny.
