History
Contrary to a common
Marszałkowska street was established by Franciszek Bieliński and opened in 1757.[2] It was much shorter then, running only from Królewska Street to Widok Street.[3]
The street was almost entirely destroyed during the Warsaw Uprising of 1944.[3] Rebuilding of Warsaw after World War II coincided with emergence of socialist realism, which greatly influenced the surrounding urban architecture.
