Podhajce is a town in Ternopil Oblast, on the Koropets River, a tributary of the Dnester. It is situated ca. 105 km. south-east of Lviv, ca. 45 km. south-west of Ternopol and ca. 50 km. north-east of Ivano-Frankivsk.

A Catholic Church was founded in Podhajce in 1463. In 1539 it was granted a Magdeburg law city charter. During the second half of the sixteenth century the city was put under siege by a Tatar-Cossack army (in 1667) and conquered by the Turks (1675). In 1698 the Polish army gained near Podhajce a decisive victory over the Tatars.

The earliest evidences (namely tombstones in the local Jewish cemetery) on Jewish settlement in Podhajce date from the first half of the fifteenth century.
