Stolarska is one of the oldest streets in the Old Town. It’s old name, platea fratrum Praedicatorum, came from the Dominican church and convent at its south end, before being changed to it's modern name, meaning 'Carpenter Street' in 1542. Today it is an international street, most known for its row of consulates - namely those of Germany, France and the USA.
