The City of Eternal Spring
La Señorial Trujillo
Trujillo is the largest city in the Peruvian North and the birthplace of marinera norteña, a traditional Peruvian dance. Trujillo’s unique style is due to its impressive colonial ar-chitecture–proudly displayed on its ca-sonas señoriales (stately homes)–which highlights its historical and present-day significance. The Plaza de Armas de Trujillo is home to the Cathedral, the City Hall, and the Peruvian Statue of Liberty.
