Trujillo, town, Cáceres provincia (province), in the Extremadura comunidad autónoma (autonomous community), western Spain, on the Tozo River, a tributary of the Tagus River. It is sited on a hill 25 miles (40 km) east of the provincial capital Cáceres. Trujillo was a town of importance in the European Middle Ages, and Francisco Pizarro, conqueror of Peru, was born there about 1475; his palace still stands, and his tomb is in the Church of Santa María de la Concepción. The town also has Roman remains, an impressive Moorish castle, and the 15th-century Gothic Church of Santa María. Trujillo is an agricultural trade and road centre, with food processing and milling.
