Plaza de Armas
The main square sits at the centre of the colonial grid. It is framed by the cathedral and other churches, and much of the city's history happened here.

The map
About this Cajamarca map poster
Cajamarca lies in a broad valley of the northern Peruvian Andes, at around 2,700 metres, surrounded by green hills and farmland. From above, the historic centre forms a regular Spanish colonial grid of square blocks around the Plaza de Armas. The city spreads outward from there across the valley floor, toward the mountains that surround it.
It was here, in November 1532, that Francisco Pizarro and his men captured the Inca ruler Atahualpa, an event that shaped the Spanish conquest of Peru. The Ransom Room, which Atahualpa is said to have offered to fill with gold and silver in exchange for his freedom, is still shown to visitors a short walk from the main square.
Santa Apolonia hill rises close to the centre, with steps and viewpoints looking down over the grid. A few kilometres east are the Baños del Inca hot springs. A Cajamarca map poster sets all of this out clearly: the colonial blocks, the hillside beside them and the roads leading out into the valley.
