History

The street was laid out on the historical lands of Zwierzyniec, Czarna Wieś, and Łobzów, partially utilizing existing rural roads. Around the mid-19th century, it served as a fortress road connecting the system of fortifications around the city. The street takes its name from the Piast dynasty and has been in use since 1912.
On the section between the Rudawa River and the intersection with 3 Maja Avenue, it marks the western boundary of Błonia Park. In the central part, the residential neighborhood Cichy Kącik is located on the eastern side, while the sports facilities of the Jagiellonian University are on the western side. Further on, between Reymonta and Nawojki Streets, it crosses the area of the Miasteczko Studenckie AGH. The northern section runs alongside a residential block complex.
The square at the intersection of Piastowska Street and Podchorążych Street has been named after General Franciszek Ksawery Latinik.
