Legarda Street is a short street in the Sampaloc district of Manila, Philippines. It crosses through the eastern section of the University Belt area in a generally east–west orientation between the Nagtahan Interchange and the intersection with Nepomuceno Street in Quiapo. Legarda station of the LRTA's Line 2 system serves it.

The street was named after Filipino legislator and resident commissioner to the United States, Benito Legarda y Tuason.^[1] Historically, its section in Sampaloc was formerly called Calle Alix (after a Real Audiencia of Manila magistrate of the 1860s, José María Alix y Bonache),^[2]^[3] while its section in Quiapo was formerly called Plaza Santa Ana and Calle Concordia, respectively.^[4]^[5]^[6]

Route

Legarda Street commences at the Nagtahan Interchange as a westward continuation of Magsaysay Boulevard from Santa Mesa. It heads due west, traversing the southern edge of Sampaloc and skirting the northern boundary of San Miguel. After crossing Figueras Street, Legarda bends to the southwest, following the course of Estero de San Miguel (San Miguel Creek). It intersects with Recto Avenue–Mendiola Street, wherein the majority of its traffic turns towards Recto Avenue, serving as a major continuation westward, and San Rafael Street before terminating and briefly converging with the junction at Nepomuceno Street (formerly Tanduay Street) in Quiapo before it is continued by P. Casal Street towards San Miguel and Ayala Bridge to Ermita on the southern bank of the Pasig River.

Notable establishments on Legarda Street include Arellano University, Santa Catalina College, the main campus of ABE International Business College, San Lorenzo Ruiz Student Catholic Center, Mendiola Theater and the Department of Social Welfare and Development–NCR Office.

History

On May 1, 2001, Legarda Street was the site of riots initiated by pro-Estrada protesters being pushed back from Malacañang Palace by police authorities during EDSA III.^[7]
