Located in Extremadura, just 45km east of Caceres, this beautiful walled town dates from the 13th century and is one of the best places to visit in the region.

 

The town is probably best known for the conquerors born here such as Francisco Pizarro who discovered Peru. A monument to him stands in Plaza Mayor.

 

Celts, Romans, Moors and Christians have all lived here and have all made their mark. The town boasts a beautiful Moorish castle and several important palaces. Much of the old town centres around Plaza Mayor where you will find the very helpful tourist office. You can also catch a horse-drawn tour of the town from here.

Plaza Mayor is also home to the Justice Courts, the Old Town Hall The Church of San Martin and the Casa de las Cadenas. The Palacio de los Duques de San Carlos is a fine 16th Century residence, turned into a convent. It is possible to visit the convent with a guide. Also in Plaza Mayor is the Palacio de la Conquista, one of the finest buildings in the town and the statue of Pizarro, the Conquistador. There are several bars in the square with excellent terraces.

From the Plaza Mayor walk through the narrow alleys, climbing towards the castle. There are several churches and museums along the way. The castle has been well preserved and quite sympathetically restored. Much of the structure remains, including many outlying walls and vaults. The castle is of Moorish origin and stands over the footings of an earlier Roman fortress. It is possible to visit the dungeons of the castle where it is said that a vision of the Virgin Mary appeared in 1232, giving the Christians renewed strength in fighting off the Moors.

Where to stay in Trujillo
If at all possible, stay at the Parador Nacional which was opened in 1984 after being converted from a 1533 convent.
There are several hotels located in the town as well as several hostals.
