Palacio de la Conquista (Marqueses de la Conquista)

Monument · Trujillo, Comarca de Trujillo, Cáceres

Renaissance palace on the Plaza Mayor, built from 1562 by order of Hernando Pizarro and his wife and cousin Francisca Pizarro Yupanqui, daughter of Francisco Pizarro, in fulfillment of the latter's last will. Its Plateresque corner balcony stands out, flanked by baluster columns with busts of Francisco Pizarro, Yupanqui Huaylas, Hernando Pizarro and Francisca Pizarro, crowned by the large coat of arms expanded by Carlos V with references to the conquest of Peru and the walls of Cuzco. It was restored in 1734 by the Churrigueresque architects Manuel de Lara Churriguera and his nephew José de Churriguera.
