Krasiński Square (
Warsaw Old Town
and features buildings of great historical and national significance.
History
It was formed at the end of the 18th century from the former courtyard of the
Miodowa Street, served as the judicial district. In the interwar period the Badeni Palace housed the Court of Appeals, while the Krasiński Palace housed the Supreme Court.[1] During World War II, the square served as a buffer zone between the Warsaw Ghetto
and the other part of the city. That caused most of the buildings in the area of the square to be destroyed.
Landmarks on the square include the Krasiński Palace, the Warsaw Uprising Monument, the modern Supreme Court building, and the Field Cathedral of the Polish Army. The Krasiński Garden is located nearby. The Badeni Palace was located on the square before World War II but was completely demolished by Germans in 1944.
