n Trujillo
Trujillo, in northwestern Peru, is the capital of La Libertad Department. Located in a coastal desert region, it is the commercial center for surrounding irrigated farmlands on which sugarcane and rice are grown.
It is also a transportation center and has manufactures that include textiles and food products. The National University of La Libertad (1824) is here, and the ruins of the pre-Incan city of Chan Chan lie to the west.
Trujillo was founded in 1534. In 1612 an earthquake caused extensive damage here. The city's growth dates from the 1800s, when irrigated agriculture was expanded.
Population
(1996): 556,800.
