Francisco Pizarro was a Spanish conquistador best known for leading the expedition that conquered the Inca Empire in present-day Peru in the early 16th century. Born around 1471 in Trujillo, Spain, he initially sought fortune in the New World and became an important figure in the Spanish colonization of South America. Pizarro captured the Inca emperor Atahualpa in 1532 and subsequently executed him, which led to the fall of the Inca Empire. He founded the city of Lima in 1535, which became the capital of Spanish colonial rule in Peru.
