Pilzno [ˈpilznɔ] is a town in Poland, in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in Dębica County. It has 4,379 inhabitants (2004). It is located at the junction of important roads - European east-west highway E4 and national road 73 to Jaslo, but at the same time, it has no railroad station, even though in 1939 Polish government began construction of the Debica - Jaslo line, via Pilzno. The project was never completed.
Incorporated as a town in 1354 by King Kazimierz Wielki, Pilzno has a rich history. In the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth it was the capital of a powiat, located in the Sandomierz Voivodeship. Most important historical monument there is St. John's church, founded around 1256. It is located near the medieval market square.
