Kalwaryjska Street is a street in Kraków, in District XIII Podgórze. It is the main and at the same time the oldest street in this district of the city. It runs from the Podgórski Market Square to the Antoni Mateczny Roundabout.
History.
The earliest section of Kalwaryjska Street – from Podgórski Market Square to the intersection with Smolki Street – was laid out between 1787 and 1789 as part of the road connecting the town of Podgórze with the route running from Lviv to Vienna. The section from the intersection with Smolki Street to Mateczny Roundabout is part of the former Hungarian Route. Development of the street began in the early 19th century on its southern side. The northern side of the road was developed in the mid-19th century after the area was drained.
Building.
The street is primarily lined with one- and two-story tenement houses dating from 1890 to 1910.
