Jirón Augusto Wiese,^[1]^[2] better known as Jirón Carabaya, 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 Áncash, and ends at the Paseo de la República.^[3]

It runs parallel to the Jirón de la Unión, and like said street, it connects the Plaza Mayor with the Plaza San Martín, ending at the Paseo de los Héroes Navales.^[4]

History

In 1862, when a new urban nomenclature was adopted, the road was named jirón Carabaya, after Carabaya Province (it was later renamed during the 20th century, being named after philanthropist Augusto Wiese Eslava [es]).^[2] Prior to this renaming, each block (cuadra) had a unique name:^[5]

Block 1: Pescadería, after a fish market that was later demolished.^[6]^[7]
Block 2: Gradas de la Catedral/Cruz de Gradas/Covachuelas, after the steps that lead to the Cathedral.^[6] Also at one point called Peligro by a foreigner.^[8]
Block 3: Bodegones/de la Requena, the former name coming from the warehouses located in the street.^[6]^[9]
Block 4: de Coca, after the family that lived there.^[6]^[10]
Block 5: Filipinas/de Doña Leonor de Ampuero/Solisvango, named after a local branch of the Royal Company of the Philippines located in the street; the latter two were due to a woman and a family who resided there, respectively.^[6]
Block 6: Divorciadas, after the divorced women that lived there in a building known as the Casa de Divorciadas.^[6]^[11]
Block 7: Pando, after José Antonio de Pando y Riva.^[6]^[12]

In 1872, a large crowd took over the street, marching towards the Plaza Mayor in response to the attempted coup d'état.^[13] During its history, people such as Manuel Candamo, Ramón Castilla and Augusto B. Leguía purchased properties in the street, where they subsequently lived.^[14] The latter's property was looted after he was ousted in 1930, being later demolished in the 1960s.^[15] Castilla's residence, known as the Casa de Castilla, was in danger of being demolished in 1976, four years after it was declared part of the Cultural heritage of Peru.^[16]

Starting in the mid to late 19th century, the traditional architecture of the street became replaced in favour of French-inspired buildings.^[17] Under the government of Leguía, a return to traditional architecture started to manifest, taking influences from both Spanish (Colonial Revival) and Indian (Neo-Indigenist/Neo-Peruvian) architecture.^[18]
