Trujillo

Haley Sandman


The last trip we all took as a group was to Trujillo, Spain. It’s a city not far from Cáceres so it was a day trip. Also, it looks similar to Cáceres. Trujillo has lots of rich history. There is a castle located at a very high point in the city which has the most amazing views. The architecture of the castle was influenced by the Arabic style of constructing buildings. The doorways, for example, are shaped in a way that mimics a horseshoe. Also while in Trujillo, we got to see the house of the parents of Francisco Pizarro which has been turned into a museum. In the main plaza of Trujillo, there is a statute of Francisco Pizarro near a church. After visiting some shops in the
main plaza, we walked through the city to the bus station.
