Iglesia de Santa Maria la Mayor
A Romanesque-Gothic church near the castle with a 25-panel retablo by Fernando Gallego and a climbable bell tower. The interior charges a small fee but the views from the tower over Plaza Mayor are worth it.

Trujillo Old Quarter
The medieval walled upper town climbing from the Plaza Mayor to the castle, with stone palaces and stork-nested towers. Free to wander and largely untouched by mass tourism, it feels like stepping into 16th-century Spain.
