Trujillo - Francisco Pizarro
In Roman times, the town was known as Turgalium.
Following the Islamic conquest after 711, Trujillo became one of the main towns in the region. A Moorish fortress was built in the 10th century. In the course of the Reconquista, Trujillo was taken by Alfonso VIII of Castile in 1186 but was lost again to the Almohads in 1189. The town was finally captured in 1232. During the final assault, according to the local legend, many Christian soldiers reported seeing the Virgin Mary (= "Virgen de la Victoria") between the towers of the castle.
Numerous conquistadors came from Trujillo, including the members of the Pizarro family. Francisco Pizarro, who led the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire, is the most famous of them.
