[1] Pikulice is situated 4–5 km from Przemyśl's city center, by the streams Jawor and Wisla, which enter the Wiar River.

In 1418, Ivan of Obychow, the Rus starosta and the castellan of Szremsk, carried out royal orders to distinguish between the city outskirts and the villages Pikulice, Grochowe, Witoszyńce, and Koniuchy.

The Germans operated a subcamp of the Stalag 327 prisoner-of-war camp at the pre-war Polish Army barracks in Pikulice, with mass graves of Italian POWs unearthed in 1961.

[2] The Roman Catholic villagers belonged to the parish in Przemyśl until a neo-Gothic stone church and belfry were erected for their spiritual needs in Pikulice in 1912.

[3] The population of Pikulice, in the mid 16th century, in 1565, counted 36 peasant families, one miller, two innkeepers, and one Orthodox priest.

[5] To the north of Pikulice's center, there stands a monument which honors the memory of the soldiers of the Ukrainian Galician Army who participated in the Polish-Ukrainian War of 1918–1919.

Polish authorities interned them as prisoners of war at a makeshift camp and detention center located in former Austrian barracks.

[7] In a tradition dating back to the 1921, Ukrainians, since 1990, hold an annual mourning procession from Przemyśl's city center to the Pikulice graveyard on the Sunday after Pentecost.

[6][7] Atop the burial mound at the cemetery there is erected an iron cross created by the local Ukrainian artist Olena Kulchytska and reconstructed in 1990.
