Strzelce Opolskie is a town located in Opolskie Province on the northeastern slope of St. Anne's Mountain. The town is located about halfway between the thriving urban centers of Opole and Gliwice. Less than 20,000 people live here. The place took its name from the shooters, princely hunters who hunted game in the surrounding forests. The etymology of the town is commemorated by a monument in the Market Square below the Town Hall. The name of the town changed depending on who ruled the local lands, and it has been in its present form since 1945.

The first mention of settlement here dates back to the 13th century. Subsequent decades brought changes of municipal rulers (Opole, Non-Modlin, Piast princes, Austrian rule) and new buildings, which today are tourist landmarks of the city.
