Jirón de la Unión

Union Street (Spanish: Jirón de la Unión) is a major pedestrian street in the Damero de Pizarro, an area of the historic centre of Lima, Peru. The street starts at the Puente de Piedra, where it is continued on the other side of the Rímac River by Trujillo Street, and continues until it reaches Paseo de la República Avenue.

The street has traditionally served as the city's main axis since the Viceroyalty of Peru. Ater the War of Independence, it continued to function as a commercial centre, as well as a gathering point for the city's aristocratic upper class, who developed the custom of jironear. This reputation remained until the late 20th century, a turbulent period in the country's history that led to the city's mass expansion due to a continued migration of people from the country's interior.
