We'll start our private tour of Francisco Pizarro's hometown by learning about some of the lesser-known aspects of this 16th-century conquistador. And what better place to do this than at the foot of his famous equestrian statue, located in Trujillo's iconic Plaza Mayor? Around the Plaza Mayor, we will see a large group of magnificent Renaissance buildings with a palatial character, notably the Palace of the Marquises of la Conquista, the Palace of the Dukes of San Carlos, and also the Church of San Martín de Tours. We'll continue this private tour by heading towards the Puerta de Santiago. This is where the intricate network of various historic alleyways begins, leading us to the imposing Trujillo Castle: an ancient fortress from which we'll see the expanse of the fields and pastures of Extremadura, also a film location. Continuing our tour through the Old Town, we'll see the old homes of the noblemen of Trujillo who set sail for the New World in search of fame and fortune. The itinerary will continue by the most important church, Santa Maria la Mayor, and the Aljibe from the Al-Andalus period. The houses of Orellana, Chaves, Calderón, Mendoza, Alcázar de Bejaranos, etc. We will return to Plaza Mayor via Ronda de Almenas to say goodbye.
