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]
