    Krakowskie Przedmieście Street - a street in the center of Warsaw, constituting the northern section of the Royal Route. The suburbs at the Krakow Gate began to be created already in the 14th century, and in 1454 a Bernardine church was built next to them. Then the area in front of the walls began to be called Bernardyński Square (today this is the name of the square in Czerniaków). Wooden houses were built here by various craftsmen, brickworks were built, and two branches of the square were formed, with the eastern one leading to the oldest jurydyka in Warsaw, belonging to the parish priest of the collegiate church: Dziekanka. The so-called Bernardyński Square (or Bernardyńskie Przedmieście) was previously called Czerski Przedmieście, and then Krakowskie Przedmieście, because it was the beginning of the route connecting Warsaw initially with Czersk and then with Krakow....

      Krakowskie Przedmieście Street is one of the main streets in the Warsaw district of Śródmieście, constituting the northern section of the Royal Route. The history of this street dates back to the 14th century, when the suburbs began to develop at the Krakow Gate. The street was one of the main routes leading to Krakow and became an important place for the magnates and the royal family, with many palaces and symbols of triumph. In the 17th century, it was a representative street, and in the 18th century it became completely paved and gas-lit.

      Krakowskie Przedmieście was also the site of many historical events, including national demonstrations during the partitions and student demonstrations in 1968. After World War II, the street was rebuilt and entered into the register of historical monuments in 1965. In the years 2006-2008, the street underwent a thorough reconstruction, becoming a pedestrian zone, with a wide surface and numerous monuments and historical objects.

      More important buildings on the street include: Staszic Palace, Hotel Bristol, Presidential Palace, and the Church of the Holy Cross. The street has also been an inspiration in literature, including "The Doll" by Bolesław Prus, and in music, including songs by T. Love and Taco Hemingway.
