Jose Laurel Street, also known as J.P. Laurel Street, is a tree-lined street in the district of San Miguel in north-central Manila, Philippines. It runs parallel to the Pasig River from the Lacson Avenue junction south-westwards to General Solano Street. It is where Malacañan Palace and several other government buildings are located. The street has had several different names throughout the years, including ''Calzada de San Miguel'' and ''Calzada de Malacañan'', but by the 1870s, it was known as ''Calle Áviles''.〔(Viajes por Filipinas: De Manila á Tayabas ) published by Gutenberg Project; accessed 2013-10-17.〕〔(Vintage Joaquin ) published by the Philippine Star; accessed 2013-10-17.〕 It was named after Don José Vicente de Áviles, ''el Conde de Áviles'', who extended the street to Santa Mesa and the Sampaloc (Carriedo) Rotunda. A small plaza across Malacañan Palace was also named after Áviles. In 1959, the street was renamed to its present name in honor of a former resident of the palace and president, José Paciano Laurel.〔(Quezon on the 5 Philippine Republics ) published by the Philippine Daily Inquirer; accessed 2013-10-17.〕 Other notable buildings along the street include Casa Roces, College of the Holy Spirit, the National Shrine of Saint Jude, the National Shrine of Saint Michael and the Archangels and the Philippine Commission on Women. Public access to Laurel Street is generally restricted for security reasons. The nearest LRT-2 station is Legarda Station. ==See also== * Mendiola Street * List of eponymous streets in Manila 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jose Laurel Street」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
