# Henryk Siemiradzki Street

Henryk Siemiradzki Street is a street in Kraków, in District I Old Town, in Piasek. It runs parallel from Łobzowska Street to Karmelicka Street.

## History

The street was laid out at the end of the 1880s. It received its current name, commemorating the painter Henryk Siemiradzki, in 1890.

## Buildings

The street has the character of a small street with residential, tenement buildings, lined on one side with rows of trees. The street's buildings were originally almost entirely devoid of commercial functions, except for individual points in buildings located near intersections. Commercial premises were later added to tenement houses from the interwar period. The buildings are predominantly tenements in the historicist style, constructed in the 1890s. They are complemented by tenements built in the early 20th century, featuring modernist style elements, as well as functionalist tenements from the interwar period.
