History










Plaza de armas of Trujillo in 1839, by "Léonce Angrand"





Martin de Estete began the design of the streets of Trujillo by order of Diego de Almagro in the end of the year of 1534, so he designed the structure and dimensions of the Plaza de Armas. In 1841, Pedro de Mandalengoitia Sanz de Zarate donated to the square a fountain made of white stone that was built on his farm and mill in Santa Cruz de Carabamba.[1] On December 29, 1820, the Plaza de Armas was the scene of the proclamation of Independence of Trujillo by the Marquis of Torre Tagle. In this square are located the cathedral of the city and mansions dating back to the Hispanic and republican periods. On July 4, 1929, in the middle of this square, the Freedom Monument was opened, which represents the country's independence process and according to "commentators it represents the most precious of human beings, the love of freedom, the memory and recognition of the distinguished men who gave us independence". The statue was a work in Germany,[2] the materials used are marble and copper, the sculptor was Edmund Moeller and it was armed by Henry Albrecht.
