The capital of Opolskie Voivodeship in southwestern Poland. In German, Oppeln. Located 80 km southeast of Wrocław, in the southern part of the Silesian Lowlands. Facing the Odra River, it developed as a key transportation point since the Middle Ages. In 1202, it became the capital of the Piast dynasty's Duchy of Opole, but in 1327 it was ceded to Bohemia, and in the 16th century it passed into the hands of the Habsburgs. In 1742 it was taken by Prussia, and in 1945 it returned to Poland. Most of the town was destroyed by German forces during World War II, but was rebuilt after the war.
