Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship (also known as Świętokrzyskie Province, Polish: województwo świętokrzyskie [vɔjɛˈvut͡stfɔ ɕfʲɛntɔˈkʂɨskʲɛ] or simply Świętokrzyskie) is one of the 16 voivodeships (provinces) into which Poland is presently divided. It is situated in south-central Poland, in the historical province of Lesser Poland, and takes its name from the Świętokrzyskie (Holy Cross) mountain range. Its capital and largest city is Kielce.
It is bounded by six other voivodeships: Masovian to the north, Lublin to the east, Subcarpathian to the south-east, Lesser Poland to the south, Silesian to the south-west, and Łódź to the north-west.
The province was created on 1 January 1999, out of the former Kielce Voivodeship and western part of Tarnobrzeg Voivodeship, pursuant to the 1998 Local Government Reorganization Act. It covers an area of 11,672 square kilometres (4,507 sq mi), making it the second smallest of the voivodeships (after Opole). As at 2006, the total population of Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship is 1,281,796.
