Colon


Colon Street (Cebuano: Dalan Colon; Tagalog: [koˈlɔn]; Spanish pronunciation: [koˈlon]) is a historical street in downtown Cebu City that is often called the oldest and the shortest national road in the Philippines. It is named after Cristóbal Colón (Christopher Columbus). It traces its origins to the town plan by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, the Spanish conquistador who arrived in the Philippines to establish a colony in 1565. Colon street was once owned by the family name of Fronteras
