Jirón Camaná is a major street in the Damero de Pizarro, located in the historic centre of Lima, Peru.
[1] The road that today constitutes the street was laid by Francisco Pizarro when he founded the city of Lima on January 18, 1535.
Prior to this renaming, each block (cuadra) had a unique name: The street houses the Casa Malherbe, a 667.94 m2 two-storey building with a Serlian-adorned balcony, originally sold by Francisca Cabrera y Gallegos to Rafael Gordillo y Salazar in 1746, one month after the earthquake of the same year.
Nadal was known for his drugstore, the Botica del Correo, located almost one block from his house, which continues to operate to date.
[13] In 1942, the Yugoslav Society, which represented the Croatian (and Yugoslavian) minority in Peru at the time, moved to the street, located in its corner with Jirón Ica.
