TRINIDAD
A small town with actual 36 000 inhabitants which was found, together with Havana and the other 4 towns, in 1513 by Diego Velasques got fabulously rich owing to the cane sugar trade. Today, it belongs to the most beautiful Cuban towns and since 1989 it has became a treasure of the world cultural heritage. The dominant feature of the town, and its highest building is the Convento San Francisco (a former monastery of St. Francis of Assisi) and nowaday there is the Museum of Revolution... | ![]() | |

However, the neighbourhood of the Plaza Mayor lives even in the night.
