Trujillo is a town in Cáceres province in Extremadura, western Spain, with about 9,086 people at the 2013 census. Its old town sits on a granite knoll, and the Plaza Mayor at its heart is less than a kilometre from the centre in a straight line. The town is identified with Roman Turgalium, and in the Middle Ages it became one of the region's main towns. Its old town holds many medieval and Renaissance buildings, while the modern town now spreads to the south-east of the original site. The Plaza Mayor is broad and irregular, framed by stone arcades and Renaissance palaces with balconies and carved coats of arms, and overlooked by the tower of the church of San Martín. From the square, cobbled lanes climb between stone houses and towers to the castle at the top of the hill. The town hosts a national cheese festival in early May. It is small and easy to explore on foot, and the castle above looks out over the surrounding plains. Summers are very hot, so spring and autumn are best.
