Jabłonowskich Street is a street in Kraków, located in district Old Town in Nowy Świat. In the years 1952–1990, the street was named Stanisław Ziaja.

History

A large area of land located to the west of the city walls belonged to the Jabłonowski family.[1] When Kraków expanded significantly in this direction during the 1870s and 1880s, these lands were divided and designated for the construction of residential houses. The city quickly established a network of streets in this area. The current Jabłonowskich Street was laid out in the late 1880s.[2] It was given its name in 1890. In 1952, the street's name was changed to Stanisława Ziai Street, in honor of a labor movement activist and member of the KPP and PPR who lived from 1903 to 1944. Stanisław Ziaja lived in the First Academic Dormitory located on Jabłonowskich Street in 1937. The original name was restored by the Kraków City Council in 1990.[2]
