Palacio de la Conquista, Renaissance palace in Plaza Mayor of Trujillo, Spain.

The palace exhibits a three-story facade with five rounded arches supported by pillars and decorated with wrought iron window grilles.

Construction began in 1562 under Hernando Pizarro and Francisca Pizarro Yupanqui, following Francisco Pizarro's testament to establish a church in Trujillo.

The corner balcony features Renaissance decorations and a grand shield displaying the arms granted by Charles V, representing Peru's conquest.

The palace opens to visitors who can explore the stables with barrel vaults, main rooms with carved ceilings, and decorated fireplaces.

The structure combines Spanish Renaissance architecture with references to Inca heritage through its decorative elements and family connections.
