Luna Street is a street in the La Paz district of Iloilo City, Philippines. It was once part of the Iloilo Millionaires' Row, the first millionaires' row in the Philippines.[1] Luna Street, along with E. Lopez Street, forms the first concrete road in the country, which extended from the Forbes Bridge across the Iloilo River to Jaro Plaza.[2][3]

The street was named after Juan Luna, a renowned Filipino painter, sculptor, and political activist during the Philippine Revolution. Luna is best known for his famous works such as Spoliarium and his significant contributions to Philippine art and nationalist movements.[4]
