Floriańska Street, Historic street in the Old Town, Kraków, Poland.

Floriańska Street stretches approximately 335 meters (1,099 feet) through Kraków's Old Town, lined with historic tenement houses that showcase traditional architecture from the medieval period and later centuries.

The street was established in 1257 following the city's reconstruction after the Mongol invasion of 1241, and it became an integral part of the Royal Route connecting St. Florian's Gate to the Main Market Square.

Named after Saint Florian, the patron saint of firefighters, the street honors Poland's historical dedication to protection against fire and features several buildings associated with the Young Poland artistic movement.

Today, Floriańska Street functions as a popular destination for visitors and residents, featuring numerous shops, cafes, and restaurants that provide access to Kraków's cultural landmarks and commercial offerings.

The street houses Jama Michalika at number 45, a historic cafe established in 1895 that earned the nickname Michalik's Den because the building lacks windows and served as a gathering place for local artists and intellectuals.
