Possibly built on one of the Arab mosques that existed in Trujillo. It was built in the 13th century, after the conquest of the city. The church retains Romanesque and Gothic elements, but underwent major restoration in the 16th century. It has three naves with three sections and a polygonal apse, covered with ribbed vaults with tiercerons. The rose window stands out on the cover. Inside, the main Gothic altarpiece stands out, executed in the workshop of Fernando Gállego and the Plateresque choir.

The House-Museum dedicated to his figure, located in what was once the family home, reviews the life of the explorer through objects, furniture, documents and recreations. It is located just 70 meters from the Church of Santa María la Mayor.

Actually, it is not Pizarro's house, but a 15th century mansion where a replica of the conqueror's house was made.
