Heraldry of Trujillo

This past Monday, the tourism students of IES Turgalium hosted a walking tour in the old

part of Trujillo. This tour focused on the heraldry of the old city, and the students displayed a

wealth of knowledge about various important families of Trujillo’s past. The tour began with the

Chaves family’s coat of arms and concluded with the Virgen of Victory in the main square. It

was great to see the students display what they’ve learned in class, and it became quite clear that

there is a lot to know in order to give a tour of a city like Trujillo. The way in which the students

described each coat of arms and answered various questions shows the hard work they’ve put

into their studies this year. Going on this walking tour was fascinating, especially as the

Language Assistant at Turgalium. I felt like I had taken a step back in time, and it was

particularly interesting since Trujillo is older than the entire United States. Thank you, Turgalim

tourism students, for a wonderful tour of Trujillo!

Local handcraft center and Town hall.

On March 17th, the tourism students, their teachers and I all went on an excursion through Trujillo to see the local handcraft center and the Town Hall. It was a fun trip, as we were able to see lots of local artisans' works at the center as well as a ceiling full of old families' coats of arms at the Town Hall. Trujillo has a lot of well-preserved buildings and walking through town was very enjoyable.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT TRUJILLO?

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT TRUJILLO?

Good morning, my name is Almudena Acedo and I will be your tour guide.

Trujillo is in the province of Cáceres and it is located in the Trujillo's plain.

The origin of the city dates back to the celtic times, it was called “Turaca” as you probably know. In the prerromanic epoch its name was Turgalium and in the moorish invasion, they changed the name to Taryala.

The most representative monuments are the Conquest Palace, the Duke of San Carlos Palace, Escobar's Palace, Santiago's Church, the statue of Francisco, Pin's Tower, cistern or the water tank and the Castle.

The best monument in my opinion is the castle because it was built as a moorish fortress and one of the most representative element of it, is the horseshoe arch. Later, in the reconquest epoch it became a castle. Here we can find a santuary dedicated to the Patroness of the town. From the castle you have a beautiful view of the town.

The most important conquerors born in Trujillo were Francisco Pizarro and García de Paredes ( Sansón Extremeño) and others... the first of them was very famous because he went to the new world and conquered Peru.

The most significant festivals are “the Cheese Fair” in the month of May and “the Chivirí”that takes place on Easter Sunday.

The typical handicrafts of the region are artistic works using mud as pitchers or wooden buckets.

The typical dishes are “migas”, goat and sheep cheese, roast lamb, stuffed hen as well as pastries like tocinillos de cielo or piñates.
