Connections for City of Trujillo

Trujillo is a historic colonial city whose urban design reflects the urban planning practices in South America and the desire to establish its own architectural and artistic style.

The main monuments include the cathedral, colonial mansions, historic houses, religious and civil buildings and the city walls. Most of these monuments, brightly coloured and decorated with characteristic wrought iron, line the Plaza de Armas and the important arteries of the historic centre.
