At the central province of Sancti Spiritus, the formerly called Villa de la SantÃsima Trinidad (Holy Trinity) was founded in 1514. Was one of the first seven villages founded on the Cuban archipelago by Spanish.
Trinidad is also known as Cuba's Museum City and has one of the most complete and well-preserved architectural environments in the American continent.
Declared a World Heritage by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1988, was founded on the banks of the Guaurabo River, where the Spaniards found an aboriginal population that they used as slave labor force, as well as fertile lands and excellent ports to prepare their expeditions.
Trinidad's houses are based on neoclassic ornamentation, which is shown in murals, molds, wooden frameworks and beautiful iron-wrought railings. All of these constitute one of the city's major charms.
