PRZEMYSL

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 534 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PRZEMYSL , a town of Austria, in
Galicia
 , 6o m. W. of
Lemberg
  by rail. Pop. (1900), 46,295, mostly Polish. It is situated on the river San and is one of the strongest fortresses in
Galicia
 . Przemysl is the seat of a Roman Catholic and of a Greek uniat
bishop
 , and has a Roman Catholic
cathedral
 , begun in 146o. The
industries
  comprise the manufacture of machinery, liqueurs and spodium or tutty, the refining of naphtha, corn-milling and the sawing of timber. The
trade
  is chiefly in timber, corn, leather and linen. On the hill above the town are the ruins of an old castle, said to have been founded by Casimir the
Great
 .
Przemysl, one of the oldest towns in Galicia, claims to have been founded in the 8th century, and was at one time
capital
  of a large independent, principality. Casimir the
Great
  and other Polish princes endowed it with privileges similar to those of Cracow, and it attained a high degree of prosperity. In the 17th century its importance was destroyed by inroads of
Tatars
 , Cossacks and Swedes.
