Trujillo

The municipality stands at 564 meters elevation on a granite hill, with medieval walls enclosing stone palaces and Renaissance mansions throughout its center.

The settlement, known as Turgalium during Roman times, served as a strategic stronghold under Islamic rule until its capture by Christian forces in 1232.

The Plaza Mayor features numerous palaces constructed by returning Spanish conquistadors who made their fortunes during the exploration of the Americas.

The National Cheese Fair in May brings together producers from across Spain, offering visitors the opportunity to taste hundreds of regional varieties.

Francisco Pizarro's daughter, born to an Incan princess, spent her entire life in one of Trujillo's grand mansions after marrying her Spanish uncle.
