Iznart Street
Iznart Street, also referred to as Fermin Caram Avenue, is a major commercial thoroughfare in downtown Iloilo City, Philippines. It runs north–south through the district's center, stretching from the Casa Real de Iloilo to Iloilo Chinatown and extending to the Iloilo Central Market.[1] During the Spanish colonial era, the street was known as Calle Iznart and was one of the city's key commercial and educational hubs. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, during the early years of American colonial period, Iznart Street served as an extension of Calle Real, running from Plazoleta Gay to the Arroyo Fountain in Iloilo Provincial Capitol.[2] The street is named after Manuel Iznart, who served as the mayor of Iloilo in the late 1860s, and Dr. Fermin Caram Sr., a Lebanese physician known for his pivotal role in Iloilo during the cholera epidemic, his contributions to the Philippine Constitution, and his service during the Japanese occupation.[3][4] LandmarksSome of the prominent landmarks along Iznart Street are:[2]
