Leszno Street

Leszno Street is a street stretching about 1.5 kilometers through the western part of Warsaw, featuring a mix of residential buildings and commercial spaces. Along its route, you find various architectural styles reflecting the area's urban development over time.

The street was established in 1648 by treasurer Bogusław Leszczyński and served as a settlement for Protestant residents from the town of Leszno. This early settlement shaped the character of the area for centuries to follow.

The eastern section became Solidarity Avenue after World War II, showing how the street reflected Warsaw's changing identity. This renaming marks the shift in how the city commemorated its past and values.

The street is served by multiple tram and bus lines, with stops positioned at several points along its length. This good transport connection makes it easy to explore the area and reach other parts of Warsaw.

From 1897, the location at number 58 housed Warsaw's first emergency medical service headquarters, serving as a critical healthcare facility for the city. This building shows the role the street played in Warsaw's modern medical care.
