Since the 17th and 18th centuries Miodowa Street has been lined with aristocratic residences such as the Pac and Branicki palaces, and with churches including the Capuchin church and the Basilian Greek Catholic church. Before the war it was also a busy shopping street with trams. Most of its buildings were burnt or ruined during the 1944 Warsaw Uprising and were rebuilt after the war, largely in their historic form. Today it is a quiet street of palaces, government offices and academies close to the Old Town.
