In the heart of Polish fruit cultivation lies the vibrant town of Grjec. Renowned for its apple orchards, this region is a paradise for fruit enthusiasts. Grjec also holds historical significance as the birthplace of Piotr Skarga, a distinguished theologian and preacher from the Renaissance era. His impactful Parliament Preaches (Kazania Sejmowe) have become an integral part of Polish literary heritage. While Skarga rests in peace in Krakw, his presence is immortalized by a striking monument on the market place.
