This article is an attempt to reconstruct the main street of Grodno – a city of the last Sejm of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth – in order to portray what could be seen by the residents and deputies to the Sejm which ratified the Second Partition of Poland. The author describes the buildings of the contemporary streets: E. Orzeszkowa Street, Soviet Street, Zamkovaya Street and Soviet Square. Reconstruction of the main (central) streets of Grodno’s historical centre shows that at the end of the 18th century the city was in a state of development, starting from its historical heart: Castle-Marketplace expanded its territory at the expense of the Horodnica and its surroundings. The first in the streets were the temples, magnate palaces, tenements of entrepreneurs and public buildings. Many of them or their owners were featured in the interesting novel by W. Reymont The Last Sejm of the Republic.
