Palacio del Marqués de la Conquista (Palace of the Marquis of the Conquest)
Palacio del Marqués de la Conquista (Palace of the Marquis of the Conquest) Review
This is the most dramatic building on Plaza Mayor. The stone palace was built by Francisco Pizarro's half-brother Hernando. It's recognizable by its rich covering of early Renaissance plateresque ornamentation and imaginative busts of the Pizarro family flanking its corner balcony. Unfortunately, it's closed to visitors.
