Bartosza Street a historic street in Kazimierz, the former district of Kraków, Poland.
It connects Szeroka Street and Bawół Square with Saint Wawrzyńca Street. It is a single-carriageway road.
History The street existed as early as the 18th century as an unnamed alley. It assumed its current form between 1871 and 1883. In the 1880s, it was called Wysoka Street, and in 1890, the Kraków City Council gave the street its current name.
At that time, it was also proposed to name the street Głucha Street, but this proposal was not accepted by the City Council.
It is one of two streets in Krakow commemorating Wojciech Bartos Głowacki, a scythe-bearer from the Kościuszko Uprising who fought in the Battle of Racławice.
