Trujillo Cathedral
Basílica Catedral de Trujillo
A yellow colonial-era cathedral beside the Plaza de Armas, with a Baroque altarpiece inside and a museum of religious art.
Trujillo Cathedral was begun in 1647 and rebuilt several times after earthquakes. It is now a colonial-style building with bright yellow walls and white moldings, echoing the colors of the square. Inside are gilded Baroque and Rococo altarpieces and colonial religious paintings. The attached cathedral museum displays silverware and sacred images. Entry to the church is free, and the museum charges a small admission fee. Please keep quiet during Mass.
