Plaza Mayor de Trujillo
Plaza Mayor, Trujillo, Spain, 10200Set off the tour at the Main Square to admire the exceptional showcase of Renaissance architecture with a skyline of towers, turrets, and crenellations. Nestling between the stately facades are charming little boutiques, bars, and cafes. Interestingly, the history of the city seems to revolve around the most famous Trujillo-born conquistador Francisco Pizarro, whose large equestrian statue dominates the center of the square.15 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location2
Located on the southwest corner of the square is the Palace of the Marquis of the Conquest. On his conquest of Peru, Francisco got married to an Inca princess. This mansion built for his brother proudly boasts the family’s glorious history with the intricate carvings of Fernando brothers and their Inca wives, the family shield, the walls of Cuzco (in present-day Peru), and Pizarro's ships.15 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

Next, pass by the Palace of Orellana-Pizarro, owned by one of Francisco Pizarro’s cousins who was the first Major of Cuzco. The building captivates onlookers with an attractive Plateresque patio in front of a lovely Renaissance arched doorway flanked by two imposing towers from the 14th century.15 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

Move on to the 13th-century Church of Santa María la Mayor. The mainly Gothic church was the site of tombs of leading Trujillo families from the Middle Ages.

After that, walk by the ruins of the Monastery of San Francisco the Real.

Save the best for the last: the enormous fortification of Trujillo Alcazaba.
