'''Palafox Street''' is a major and historic north-south artery in Pensacola. It serves as the dividing line for all the city's east-west streets. Palafox is also the southernmost leg segment of [[US Highway 29]], which terminates at Palafox and [[Cervantes Street]]s in downtown Pensacola. Palafox Street is named for [[Wikipedia:José de Palafox y Melzi|José de Palafox y Melzi]], a Spanish nobleman and military hero.
The southern terminus of Palafox Street is at [[Plaza de Luna]] on [[Pensacola Bay]]. Its northern terminus is just north of [[Michigan AvenueBeverly Parkway]]/[[Brent Lane]], where the road splits into becomes [[Pensacola Boulevard]] (US 29) and [[Old Palafox Highway]].
Between Garden and [[Wright Street]]s there is a median separating the northbound and southbound lanes, where tracks of the [[Pensacola streetcar system]] formerly ran. The median has since been landscaped and is home to [[Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza]] and the [[9-11 Homage to America]] memorial. During the summer months, the median is used for the [[Palafox Market]].
