Introduction to Piura:

Piura is a city in northwestern Peru. It is the capital of the Piura Region and the Piura Province.

The population is approximately 400,000.

It was here that Spanish Conqueror Francisco Pizarro founded the first Spanish city in South America, San Miguel de Piura, in 1532, thus earning the modern day city its Peruvian nickname: "La Primera Ciudad"- meaning: the first city.
