Miodowa Street, Kraków

Miodowa Street is a street in Kraków in Grzegórzki and Kazimierz (the part east of the road underpass).

Between the city walls of Kazimierz and the Vistula River, a suburban road ran along the walls in the Middle Ages. After the demolition of Kazimierz’s city walls in the early 19th century, a street called Podbrzeże or Podbrzezie emerged, named after the suburb between the river and the walls. It was laid out around 1865 based on regulatory plans from 1828 and 1844.^[1][2]

The current name was given in 1858.^[1]

Before 1889, the street was extended beyond Starowiślna Street. In its eastern section, the street passes through a road underpass beneath railway line No. 91.^[1][2]

The buildings consist mainly of late 19th- and early 20th-century tenement houses, synagogues, and schools:^[3][4]
