Trujillo, on Peru’s northern coast, contains some of the country’s most beautiful and distinctive colonial architecture, in a very different style to the highland towns. It is particularly noted for its elegant doorways and windows, such as these on the Archbishop’s Palace. The town was founded in 1534 by conquistador Diego de Almagro and named after the town in Spain where Francisco Pizarro, leader of the Inca conquest, was born.
