Based on them, in the years 1724-1731, the so-called Calvary Road was marked out, leading to the Tomb of Christ located in the area of Ujazdowski Castle. At that time, three golden crosses were placed at the crossroads, giving the square the name Rozdroże Złotech Krzyży (or Rozdroże Trzech Krzyży).
