Sułoszowa, a Polish village of about 6,000 people located in the Olkuska Uplands less than 30 km northwest of Krakow, has been nicknamed “Little Tuscany” due to its unusual layout.

The village of Sułoszowa has been around for many years, but only recently began to attract international attention after photos and videos from a bird’s-eye view went viral on social media. Millions of people around the world were mesmerized by the unusual layout of the rural settlement: hundreds of houses on either side of a singular street, winding through multicolored agricultural fields as far as the eye can see. Each of the 5,819 inhabitants, according to a 2017 census, lives on the same street, which stretches for more than 9 kilometers.

Aerial photos of Sułoszowa originally went viral in Poland in 2021, but this month a video taken by drone of the Polish village drew international attention. People were amazed by the unique appearance of the village surrounded on all sides by patches of agricultural land, as well as the fact that everyone built their house along the main road, instead of expanding outwards.

Sułoszowa’s linear, single-street layout was dubbed “weird” by major international media outlets like Mail Online and The Sun, but to Poles commenting on national news websites, it’s just a typical Polish village. On the surface, having only one road passing through a town is nothing unusual in the Central European country, but the aerial point of view makes it seem more impressive.

“The normal layout of a traditional street town, only the town is very long,” one person commented.

“Someone explain to me what this unusual arrangement is. Ordinary street,” someone else wrote.

While having a unique street may not be that rare in European towns, its location in the middle of a natural mosaic of agricultural fields is definitely not something you see every day. Some have gone so far as to compare it to the Tuscany of Italy.
