'''Puławy''' ({{IPA-pl|puˈwavɨ|pron|audio=Pl-Puławy.ogg}}, also written '''Pulawy''') is a city in eastern [[Poland]], in [[Lesser Poland]]'s [[Lublin Voivodeship]], at the confluence of the [[Vistula]] and [[Kurówka River|Kurówka]] Rivers. Puławy is the capital of [[Puławy County]]. The city's 2019 population was [[Census in Poland|estimated]] at 47,417. Its coat of arms is based on [[Coat of arms of Lithuania|Pogonia]].
Puławy was first mentioned in documents of the 15th century. At that time it was spelled ''Pollavy'', its name probably coming from a Vistula River [[Ford (crossing)|ford]] located nearby. The town is a local center of science, industry and tourism, together with nearby [[Nałęczów]] and [[Kazimierz Dolny]]. Puławy is home to Poland's first permanent museum and is a Vistula River port.
