Jirón Trujillo

Jirón Trujillo is an important street in Rímac District, part of the historic centre of Lima, Peru.

The road that today constitutes the street was laid by Francisco Pizarro during the foundation of Lima.

Prior to the nomenclature adapted in 1861, it was simply known as its entirety as the street that joined the bridge with the Church of Saint Lazarus.

[4] Prior to this renaming, each block (cuadra) had a unique name: A boulevard was inaugurated by then president Alan García in 2009, as part of a remodelling programme that targeted the district.

The works consisted of improvement of the roads, the painting of the buildings' façades and the cleaning of their roofs.
