Puente Piedra, Administrative district in northern Lima, Peru

The district extends over 71.18 square kilometers and contains residential neighborhoods, markets, and recreational areas bordered by Ancón and Carabayllo districts.

The district gained its name from a stone that functioned as a bridge crossing point during the Inca Empire before Spanish colonization destroyed it.

Local residents formed the Society of Puente Piedra Community Members in 1921 to protect their land rights against external ownership claims.

The district features two central markets, Huamantanga and Tres Regiones, where residents can purchase fresh produce and daily necessities.

A railway station built in 1870 connecting Lima to Ancón formed the initial settlement that later developed into the current district.

Location: Lima province
