Subcarpathian hotels - About Subcarpathian Subcarpathian Voivodeship (also known as Podkarpacie Province, or by its Polish name of województwo podkarpackie [vɔjɛˈvut͡stfɔ pɔtkarˈpat͡skʲɛ] or simply Podkarpackie) is a voivodeship, or province, situated in the far south-east of Poland. Its administrative capital and largest city is Rzeszów (historically Lwów was the administrative centre of this part of Poland, but after 1945, when Lwów became part of the Soviet Union, its role was taken over by Rzeszów).
The voivodeship was created on January 1, 1999, out of the former Rzeszów, Przemyśl, Krosno and (partially) Tarnów and Tarnobrzeg Voivodeships, pursuant to the 1998 Local Government Reorganization Act. The name derives from the region's location close to the Carpathian Mountains.
It is bordered by Lesser Poland Voivodeship to the west, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship to the north-west, Lublin Voivodeship to the north, Ukraine to the east and Slovakia to the south. It covers an area of 17,844 square kilometres (6,890 sq mi), and has a population of 2,096,971 (as at 2006).
