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.

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.

Trujillo

Highlight • Settlement

The city of Trujillo, a town located about 50 km east of Cáceres, sits on a huge granite batholith, on the old road to Madrid.
It is an important urban complex formed by different periods and architectural-urban mentalities, whose testimonies have made it one of the most important towns in Extremadura, as far as architectural heritage is concerned.
