Leżajsk is one of the oldest cities in south-eastern Poland. Leżajsk received its town charter in 1397 from King Władysław Jagiełło. There is a basilica and a Bernardine monastery in Leżajsk. There is one of the most famous and largest organs in the country. The instrument, built in 1693, is the oldest baroque organ in Poland and has 5900 pipes. The monastery was built at the beginning of the 17th century by the Italian master builder Pellacini. Every summer the International Festival of Organ and Chamber Music takes place in the basilica of the Bernardine Monastery.
