Tadeusz Pawlikowski Street in Kraków is a street in Kraków, in District I Old Town, in Piasek. It is 132 meters long.[1]

History

[edit]

The street was laid out in the 1930s. Initially, it was named Ambroży Grabowski Side Street, and in 1951, the Kraków City Council named it after Tadeusz Pawlikowski, a Polish theater director and manager.[2][3]

The numbering of buildings starts from the intersection with Ambroży Grabowski Street. The street is a dead end and measures approximately 130 meters in length.[2]

In 2022, a plaque commemorating Adam Zagajewski, who lived here from 2002 to 2021, was placed on the facade of the tenement at Tadeusz Pawlikowski 7. The plaque was unveiled by his wife, Maja Zagajewska. The ceremony was attended by the then Mayor of Kraków, Jacek Majchrowski.[4]
