Today Piotrkowska Street is the axis of Lodz agglomeration. Here, in its proximity, almost all of the most important administrative offices, banks, shops, restaurants and pubs are situated. Most of the events, outdoor parties, marches and official celebrations, organized by the city of Lodz, take place here.
Piotrkowska, which was called by many people Bigel some time ago, is now more commonly described as Pietryna. It is a cultural, political, sentimental, commercial and business centre of Lodz.
Between Tuwima Street and Nawrot Street there is the Monument of Lodz Citizens of Millennium Change, which is a nominal surface covering the part of Piotrkowska Street. This is probably the only monument of its kind in the world, consisting of 13.454 nominal cobblestones.
