Constitutional Province of Callao
Constitutional Province of Callao, Constitutional province and seaport region in Lima metropolitan area, Peru
The Constitutional Province of Callao encompasses 57 square miles of territory with seven districts, including Peru's primary seaport and international airport.
Spanish colonists established Callao in 1537, serving as the main port for shipping gold and silver from the Inca Empire to Spain.
The inhabitants of Callao, known as chalacos, maintain strong maritime traditions through their connection to Peru's largest harbor and naval activities.
Jorge Chavez International Airport and Peru's main seaport within the province handle most of the country's international passenger and cargo transportation.
President Ramon Castilla designated Callao as Peru's only Constitutional Province in 1857, granting it special administrative status within the country.
