KAZIMIERZA WIELKIEGO STREET [KING CASIMIR THE GREAT STREET]

One of the oldest streets of the town, it begins at the Rynek Square [Old Town Square].

The street was named in the mid 19th in honour of Casimir III, nick-named Casimir the Great, the last Piast king of Poland, who in 1349 re-incorporated to Poland the Halych Ruthenia Land together with Przemyśl and ordered that a castle be built on the town’s hill.

The present street buildings, mainly dating back to the turn of the 19th c., were erected on medieval buildings’ lots.
