Trinity city is known for its constant storage and colonial architecture, where colonial houses and palaces where reigned ever luxury and extravagance stand just around
every corner, grabbing the attention of visitors, she is an indisputable relic located in the south of Cuba in Sancti Spiritus province, founded on January 4th, 1514 by Don Diego Velázquez, she exhibits an environmental consistency unaltered by time, turning it into the one of the most conserved of the Caribbean Sea.Through the cobbled streets Walker meets some beautiful mansions converted into museums as the home of the Sanchez Iznaga (Museum of Architecture), Don Mariano Borrell house (Romantic Museum) Ortiz’s house today History Museum, etc.
Wealthy jewelry, dishes, furniture and linens that still remain attests to the rich economic past that had the villa imported directly from European factories.
Very close to Trinidad, it is found the source of all his former wealth: the Valley of San Luis or Los Ingenios (Valley of the Sugar Mills) where thousands of African slaves kneaded with sweat and tears the huge fortunes of the area. Of these sugar plantations, still remain scattered ruins of rustic dwellings blacks, remnants of the stately plantation homes, villas seasonal and central Manacas Iznaga bell.
There is La Maravillosa (the beautiful), reliving one of the most beautiful legends of the region: India Caucubú and her love for the young man Narido.
Despite the incredibly preserved this city remains, the local mayor does not neglect the rehabilitation of heritage sites and has gradually assumed a restoration plan for streets and ancient buildings, reprising their original splendor.
The ancient and legendary city was recognized in 1988 by UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE near the Valley of the Sugar Mills.
Trinidad is located in the province of Sancti Spiritus, south of Cuba and in the center of the island, bounded on the east by the city of the province, on the west by the province of Cienfuegos, on the north of the mountain massif of the Escambray and the waters of Caribbean sea baths the south.
The urban area of the city occupies 3 km and half and has about 60 thousand inhabitants. Its average temperature is 26 degrees Celsius and its relative humidity fluctuates by 74%.
It has several access routes to the city, land, sea and air.
Trinidad was discovered by the Genoese Christopher Columbus in 1494, calling him Manzanilla, then years later in late 1513 Diego Velázquez on its way to the east of Cuba founded the third town near the Bay of Jagua, today belonging to Cienfuegos province, later she was moved to the banks of the river Guaurabo, this happens on January 4th, l514.
The region was populated by Indians and Arauco Tainos from South America, who were farmers-ceramists. Their main food source was fishing, the cassava and harvest.
Years later it was colonized by mainland families who were engaged in gold mining and farming, sugar cane in the Valley of the Sugar Mills, which came into existence 49 of these factories.
In 1518, it was the place chosen by Hernan Cortes in his conquest to Mexico, and sets sail Guaurabo river with a group of men to reach the Aztec country, leaving the town in the hands of a few Spaniards.
The population of the city it is involving among black African slaves that is cheap labor, the few Indians who are subjected to abuse and peninsulars, when it make up an ethnic of mulattoes and Creole. The sixteenth and early seventeenth was a tough stage decimated by disease and trying to survive the attacks of privateering and piracy that roamed the seas. In 1675 the city was attacked by the privateer John Springe, as well as 1702 by Charles Gant, she was also attacked in the years 1654 and 1642 respectively dedicated to the smuggling of cigar, furs, salted meats and live cattle.
Then sparkled a jewel of wealth and splendor for the numerous activities that were developed by smuggling and English, French and Dutch flags roamed the seas of the Caribbean Sea. Still remain the ruins of the strong Watcher from where boats arriving in the bay were seen.
In 1585 she is visited by Alejandro Humboldt researcher, who sits on the city to carry out their investigations of nature and topography of the area.
The villa blooms in a huge way by cigar plantations, which so were being replaced by the increasing of sugar mills occupying the entire Valley of the Sugar Mills, building beautiful mansions similar as the city, examples: Guaimaro’s house, Guachinango’s, Manaca Iznaga mansions, etc.
In 1804, it is completely eliminated the plains of cigar, sugar cane begins being exported to Europe markets, gradually with discrimination logging to keep the plants and depletion of land for cultivation and loss of international market price, sugar, which is replaced by the beet falls into an economic stagnation, in addition to the war of ten years, farmers move their possessions to the province of Cienfuegos where there are wildlands and a better trade for its bay.
Since early eighteenth century, Trinidad has an emerging sense of nationalism, the idea of the French Revolution and the example of Simon Bolivar feed the libertarian spirit of the age.
After 1868 the territory of Trinity lives deep social economic changes. It is said that the war of independence contributed in a decisive way to concentrations and centralizations of the sugar industry with the timely manner of US money.
There were great independence heroes: Fernando Hernandez Echerri, Isidoro Armenteros, etc.To Trinidad the beginning of the twentieth century starts with a panorama of desolation and the stagnant trade still remains and migration to other parts of the island it is provoked. In 1919, it is built the railroad in Cuba and in 1936 start the construction of the hospital for tubers in Topes de Collantes to 16 km from the city. The road linking Cienfuegos and Trinidad begins and exists only for domestic tourism attractions ...
However, it remains with high social classes in high school, phoenix and cultural dynamics is supported thanks to the work of the inhabitants of the town with yarey, clay, texture expert weavers and other domestic activities and institutions of policies and mass organizations.
From 1953 when the assault on the Moncada barracks a new horizon for the Trinidadians glimpse, the beginning of clandestine struggles, in the mountains rebel groups operate, and on December 28th, 1958 it is carry out the taking of Trinidad organized by the Revolution Commanders: Faustino Perez among them.
Subsequently, the city is mixed in the hard struggle against banditry operating in the area, where the revolutionary militias play an important role by removing troops under Cheito Leon Carter, valuable companions also were lost, whose with their courage they entered into the center of the counter-revolution as Alberto Delgado, the literacy teacher Manuel Azcunce, the peasant Pedro Lantigua and so many unsung heroes who gave their lives.
Trinidad as a vulnerable point for the enemy to be located between the sea and the mountains suffered attack by both the port of Casilda as attacks inside mountains to farmers and people, always breaded by Yankee imperialism.
MAYOR PARISH CHURCH.
Facts baptismal say they have made in this church in 1516. It was rebuilt several times because a cyclone caused its devastation and other times it was assaulted by piracy taking the jewels were kept in it. In 1892 it was reopened as currently, settled as one of the most beautiful altars in Cuba. Photo 1 and 2.

Trinidad is rich in stories, characters and legends of long ago as Indian Caucubú who was locked herself in the grotto the Wonderful because of her love for the Indian Narido. A Spaniard man fell in love with her and then she run away to a cave, shutting herself in that place forever.
Towards the banks of the river surrounded by the meanders there is a poceta where it is said that leaves the Güije little raunchy elf black skin and long braided hair have to tell the stories of Maria Dolores Iznaga black medicine woman, the miraculous cimarrona that heal at their camp other blacks also escaped from the bateyes. The Güije knows that these are its waters, eternal and sacred and that no one ever out of there because there lives the spirit of this pure land of sweat and burning of mixed freedom and rogue language and there will be always the Güije, happy in the poceta.
They say that the Veracruz Christ left the port of Naples in 1613 and he came to stay after a storm lashed the ship, that he treated three times hoisted to the sea and every time he used to try to go to the ocean, he had to return until down the precious cargo, remaining in the main parish church where every Easter loaded shoulders to the three crosses are worshiped.
