Encyclopedia : S : SA : SAN : Sanok
Sanok (Latin: Sanocum, German: Saanig, Yiddish: Sonik, in full The Royal Free City of Sanok, Polish: Królewskie Wolne Miasto Sanok), part of The Land of Sanok (Polish: Ziemia Sanocka), is a town in south-eastern Poland with 41,400 inhabitants (1995).
Sanok contains an open air museum in the Biala Gora district, where examples of architecture from all of the region's main ethnic groups (Boikos, Lemkos, Dolinianie and Pogorzanie) have been moved and carefully reassembled in a skansen evoking everyday rural life in the 1800s.
Sanok is situated in the Subcarpathian Voivodship (since 1999), previously in Krosno Voivodship (1975-1998).
