History of Moquegua

JuteVilla
There is no definite information about the Spanish conquest and the year of the city's foundation. However, it is said that the city was founded on November 25, 1541, by Pedro Cansino and his wife, Josefina de Bilbao.

The region where the city now stands was already known and populated before the arrival of the Incas. According to the story of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, it was the Inca Emperor Mayta Cápac who organized the military expedition that extended the Inca domains to the shore of the Pacific
