About this place
Las ideas ilustradas circularon en Piura a través del Mercurio Peruano, fomentando identidad y malestar contra los tributos y monopolios de la Corona. En octubre de 1820 Guayaquil proclamó su independencia cerrando el flanco realista, mientras la escuadra de Cochrane y el desembarco de San Martín en Paracas desarticulaban el control virreinal. El 29 de diciembre de 1820, Torre Tagle proclamó la independencia de Trujillo y despachó pliegos a las subdelegaciones, incluida Piura.
