Trujillo
This beautiful small town was the launching pad for Francisco Pizarro's conquest of the Inca Empire in South America. The old town is prefectly preserved retaining a feel of what much of Spain would have been like during the period of American exploration.
Although Plaza Major is the real centre of Trujillo, the walled old town is the main attraction. The old town is home to the Iglesia de Santa María la Major as well as the Casa-Museo de Pizarro and Museo de la Coria which showcase the town's role in Spain's conquest of the Americas.
