Plaza Mayor of Trujillo

Highlight • Historical Site

The equestrian statue of Francisco Pizarro is located in Trujillo, a city in the Extremadura region, Spain. This imposing statue pays tribute to one of the illustrious residents of Trujillo: the conquistador Francisco Pizarro. The statue was created by American sculptor Charles Cary Rumsey (1879-1922). It is located in the Plaza Mayor of Trujillo, on a granite pedestal. Although not its original location, this statue is an important symbol in the city where Pizarro was born.

Church of Santa María la Mayor (Trujillo)

Highlight • Religious Site

Possibly built on one of the Arab mosques that existed in Trujillo. It was built in the 13th century, after the conquest of the city. The church retains Romanesque and Gothic elements, but underwent major restoration in the 16th century. It has three naves with three sections and a polygonal apse, covered with ribbed vaults with tiercerons. The rose window stands out on the cover. Inside, the main Gothic altarpiece stands out, executed in the workshop of Fernando Gállego and the Plateresque choir.

Trujillo Castle

Highlight • Castle

Trujillo Castle (Cáceres, Extremadura) is one of Spain's most emblematic fortresses, boasting a fascinating history and architecture that blends Arab and Christian influences.
Arab Origins (9th-12th centuries): It was built on Cabeza del Zorro hill during the Muslim period. The oldest remains are two Arab cisterns.
Reconquest: In 1186, Alfonso VIII captured the city, although it fell under Almohad rule before being definitively incorporated into the Crown in 1232.
Middle Ages: It played a key role in the border defense between Castile and Portugal and was the scene of conflicts such as the War of the Castilian Succession.
Modern Era: It lost its military importance and became a stately residence.
