Equestrian statue of Francisco Pizarro

The Equestrian statue of Francisco Pizarro (Estatua ecuestre de Francisco Pizarro) is a series of three bronze equestrian statues of Spanish Conquistador Francisco Pizarro by U.S. sculptor Charles Cary Rumsey. The statues are located in Buffalo (in front of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery), Trujillo (in the Plaza Mayor) and Lima (next to the Plaza Mayor). The latter two cities are Pizarro's places of birth and death, respectively. The statues represent the conquistador Francisco Pizarro mounted on a horse and dressed for fighting with armor and sword. Pizarro is famous for having led the Conquest of Peru in the 16th century and having founded the city of Lima on January 18, 1535, establishing what would become the Viceroyalty of Peru.
