The statue is not the only homage to Pizarro in the Plaza Mayor. On the plaza’s south side on the corner of the Palacio de la Conquista, there are various carved images of Pizarro and his lover Inés Yupanqui, who was the sister of the Inca emperor Atahualpa.
Higher up on the building, there is a relief-carving of the Pizarro family shield, which is two bears and a pine tree), Pizarro’s ships, and a group of Indian chiefs.
