Świętej Anny Street (Polish: Ulica Świętej Anny, lit. St. Anne's Street) - a historic street in Kraków, Poland.[1]
To the west, the street heads to a former Jewish quarter, hence its former name, Żydowska Street (Ulica Żydowska, lit. Jewish Street).[2] Historically, the street saw the location of a synagogue, cemetery and a Jewish bath house until the fifteenth-century, when the Jewish population was moved to the north to the present location of Szczepański Square.[3] The etymology of the street derives from the presence of the Church of St. Anne. The street features several university-related buildings, formerly housing colleges, dormitories and a library.[4]
