Truro is a beautiful city to visit. It has a unique history. In the 19th and 20th centuries Truro was a very busy port and prior to this a large mining and agricultural area. It has attracted wealthy merchants and bankers in the past who built fine houses, turning Truro into the architectural splendour we see today. Today Truro is the centre of Cornwall for trade and commerce and has an interesting mix of specialist shops and multinational stores.
