Juan de Carvajal

Bust of Carvajal in El Tocuyo.

Juan de Carvajal was a Spanish conquistador and one of the first Governors of the Venezuela Province.[1]

He founded El Tocuyo in 1545. When Philipp von Hutten and Bartholomeus VI. Welser returned from a failed expedition to find El Dorado, Carvajal had them killed. The Welser family's colonial rights were withdrawn soon afterward, which ended Klein-Venedig.[2]
