Sandomierz Basin (Polish: Kotlina Sandomierska) is a lowland, located in southeastern Poland, between the Lesser Poland Upland, Lublin Upland and the Western Carpathians. Its name comes from the historical city of Sandomierz and the basin has a triangular shape with the size of around 15 000 sq.km. It is drained by the Vistula River and its eastern tributary, the San River (both rivers make its northern border). Among major cities located in the Sandomierz Basin, there are Dębica, Jarosław, Mielec, Przemyśl, Przeworsk, Rzeszów, Stalowa Wola, Sandomierz, Tarnobrzeg, and Tarnów. It is densely inhabited, with the exception of the Niepolomice Wilderness and the Sandomierz Wilderness.
