Pureza Street is a short street located in the districts of Santa Mesa and Sampaloc in Manila, Philippines. It is a notable road in a generally north-south orientation between the junction with Paltok Street and San Jose Street in Sampaloc and the intersection with Anonas Street in Santa Mesa. It is served by Pureza Station of the Manila Line 2.
The street was named after the Spanish-term for "Purity" as approved by then Municipal Board of Manila which was a response after a year of the Era of Suppressed Nationalism from the suggestion of an American City Engineer named Clarence Hubbell. The Spanish terms for select virtues was used as the names of streets in the so-called Legarda Sanitary Barrio of 1911.[1]
