Zielna (literally "related to weeds or herbs", "herbal") is a street in
Warsaw city centre, Poland. Initially one of the main streets linking the southern city centre with its northern part, it lost much of its significance in 1941, when the nearby
Marszalkowska street had been extended across the
Saxon Garden to the
Bankowy Sq. During the
Warsaw Uprising of 1944 heavy fighting took place for the
PAST skyscraper located at Zielna 37. The building was taken by the Polish forces in the effect of heavy fights. After the Uprising most of the street had been completely demolished. After the war only the two buildings of the PAST company had been rebuilt, while the rest of the ruins were removed. Currently there are plans to fill the empty space between Zielna and Marszalkowska with new houses, which however is still disputed.
