Trujillo

Trujillo is a city in northwestern Peru. It’s known for the nation’s traditional dance, marinera. The colonial centre is home to the grand Trujillo Cathedral, with its bright yellow facade, and the blue Casa Urquiaga. Nearby, the neoclassical Iturregui Palace has Italian marble statues and a courtyard. West of the city, the huge adobe complex of Chan Chan is an abandoned city once home to the ancient Chimu kingdom.
