Gorzów Wielkopolski often abbreviated to Gorzów Wlkp. or simply Gorzów, is a city in western Poland, on the Warta river. It is the second largest city in the Lubusz Voivodeship with 122,589 inhabitants (December 2020)[1] and one of its two capitals with a seat of a voivode, with the other being Zielona Góra. Between 1975 and 1998, it was the capital of the Gorzów Voivodeship. Together with 24 gminas and 5 powiats of the Lubusz Voivodeship and 4 gminas and 1 powiat of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, the city forms the Gorzów Agglomeration inhabited by 400,000 people.
