<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">This paper presents an outline of the history of spatial transformations of Cracow’s largest suburb in the years 1587–1655. So far, this topic has not been given due attention and the published works only present the history of Garbary up to the invasion of Archduke Maximilian Habsburg in 1587. However, the siege of Cracow by supporters of the representative of the House of Habsburg, who aspired to the throne, closed an extremely successful stage in the history of the suburb, and the liquidation of existing buildings forced its residents to undertake a quick and intensive reconstruction. Furthermore, the paper contributes to further research into the suburb’s development at the end of the 16th century and in the first half of the 17th century, thus filling a considerable gap in research on the development of the urban system of Cracow.</abstract>
