Jirón Lampa is a major street in the Damero de Pizarro, located in the historic centre of Lima, Peru. The street starts at its intersection with the Jirón de la Unión and continues until it reaches the Paseo de la República.
The road that today constitutes the street was laid by Francisco Pizarro when he founded the city of Lima on January 18, 1535. In 1862, when a new urban nomenclature was adopted, the road was named jirón Lampa. Prior to this renaming, each block (cuadra) had a unique name:
On July 28, 2000, [13] [14] amid the protests known as the Four Quarters March, a fire began inside the building of the Bank of the Nation, located in the intersection with La Colmena Avenue. Despite claims by Minister of the Interior Walter Chacón of the opposite, the fire was caused by an explosion on the building's third floor which caused the structural integrity of the building's lower floors to be compromised, causing them to collapse and worsen the gravity of the situation. [15] As a result, 6 security guards were killed in fire. [16]
La explosión en el tercer piso habría provocado la destrucción de las paredes, el rompimiento de las columnas y el desmoronamiento de los techos. El incendio no pudo causar tal desastre.
