Just across from this palace is the Palacio de Juan Pizarro de Orellana, former home of the Trujillano credited with the discovery of the Amazon. The iron chain across the front signifies that Emperor Carlos V had granted the conquistador’s family, of which he was reportedly fond, immunity from taxes. Thus an already wealthy family got even wealthier while the vast majority of Extremadurans remained poverty-stricken, a pattern that is only now starting to unravel itself.
