Visit Cuba > Trinidad

Also called “Cuba’s Museum City,”  Trinidad is one of Cuba’s oldest colonial settlements and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once known as the Villa de la Santisima Trinidad de Cuba, founded in the 16th century, Trinidad is a fascinating destination.

Located in the province of Sancti Spiritus in Cuba's south-center, Trinidad has many other things to offer: pleasant beaches, an impressive waterfall and one of the archipelago's main mountainous regions.

Here the streets are paved with the stone used as ballast in the first Spanish trading vessels. Set against a background of blue sky or the Escambray mountains, the church steeples are typical  examples of baroque architecture. Inside, the carrera marble floors and ironwork reflect the charm of past colonial times.
