Trujillo - Plaza Mayor
In Roman times, the town was known as Turgalium.
Following the Islamic conquest after 711, Trujillo became one of the main towns in the region. A Moorish fortress was built in the 10th century. In the course of the Reconquista, Trujillo was taken by Alfonso VIII of Castile in 1186 but was lost again to the Almohads in 1189. The town was finally captured in 1232. During the final assault, according to the local legend, many Christian soldiers reported seeing the Virgin Mary (= "Virgen de la Victoria") between the towers of the castle.
Numerous conquistadors came from Trujillo, including the members of the Pizarro family. Francisco Pizarro, who led the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire, is the most famous of them.
The construction of San Martín began in the 14th century and lasted to around 1564, with important changes to the original floor plan. The church shows architectural elements typical of the Gothic in its body and main structure, and also of the Renaissance in the work carried out in its final construction phase.
Located around the Plaza Mayor are the palaces of the former conquistadores. One of them belonged to the family of Pizarro.
