TRUJILLO

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 323 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TRUJILLO , a town of Spain, in the province of Caceres; on a hill 25 m.
east
  of Caceres, and on the river Tozo, a sub-tributary of the
Tagus
 . Pop. (1900), 12,512. The surrounding country is rugged, but produces wheat, wine, oils and fruit, besides livestock of all sorts, and much phosphorite. There are valuable forests close to the town. In the oldest
part
  of Trujillo are the remains of a castle said to be of Roman origin, but rebuilt by the Moors and restored in
modern
  times. The Julia tower is also said to be Roman, like much of the fortifications. The Roman name for the town was Turgalium. The
principal
  parish
church
 , Santa Maria, is a fine
Gothic
  structure of the 15th
century
 . Trujillo was a town of importance in the middle ages.
Pizarro
 , the conqueror of Peru, was born here about 1471, and built a palace, which still stands, in the main square of the town.
