Trujillo, situated on a
fertile plain between the Tajo and Guadiana rivers, is a
town with an important collection of churches, castles and
ancestral homes, laid out around the its main square, or
Plaza Mayor. In addition, the city has left a great mark in
the course of History, since, in the 16th century, it was
the birthplace of many illustrious figures linked to the
Discovery of America. For this reason, Trujillo is in the
middle of the "Conquerors' Route", a journey that includes
other Extremaduran towns like Medellín, Villanueva de la
Serena and Jerez de los Caballeros. The Monfragüe Nature
Reserve, on the other hand, is one of the most important
protected areas in Extremadura. It is located a few
kilometres north of Trujillo and contains a unique system of
forests, meadows and reservoirs. |
