The Church of the Incarnation of Trujillo was founded as the Convent of the Incarnation of Dominican friars in the 18th century, later, it was looted and destroyed by the French in 1809 when the War of Independence broke out. Also the English army used it as a barracks in 1836.

Hiking
Occupying part of the site of the last aljama mosque that Trujillo had, the Franciscans built here, during the reign of Isabel I of Castile, a small monastery, which was successively expanded until the 18th century; moment in which it acquired the form and appearance with which the current building has come to us, although transformed into its monastic quarters after the confiscations of the 19th century, which desacralized a large part of its perimeter.
