Nowy Świat (Polish pronunciation: [ˈnɔvɨ ˈɕfjat] ⓘ), known in English as New World Street, is one of the main historic thoroughfares of Warsaw, Poland.

Until the 16th century, Nowy Świat was a main road leading to numerous aristocratic palaces and villages south of Warsaw.

[1][2] By the turn of the 18th century, the fields along Nowy Świat had become densely urbanized, mostly with wooden palaces and manors.

By the end of the 19th century, the buildings had been expanded and Nowy Świat had become one of the principal business streets of Warsaw.

In the early 20th century, almost all trace of neoclassical architecture was lost as new buildings were erected mostly in Art Nouveau style.
