Spanish Governor Diego Velázquez founded the settlement of Santísima Trinidad (Holy Trinity) in what is now Sancti Spíritus Province in 1515. Explore this city starting from Mayor (Main) Square. You'll be tempted to tarry in the Mayor (Main) Church, museums, Artesanos (Craftsmen's) Square and Santa Ana Square.
This is absolutely the right place for recouping energy and deciding where to go next-to the outskirts of town, to see the Manaca-Iznaga Tower, Ingenios (Sugarmill) Valley and María Aguilar Beach, or to the Escambray Mountains, to see Topes de Collantes and Caburní Falls. All are great attractions. Then, too, there's Calaveras (Skull) Cave, Lake Zaza (if you like fishing) and the various hunting preserves in the area.
The museum's exhibits show the city's architectural development in the 18th and 19th centuries: carved wooden elements, walls built using the mud plaster technique, decorative grilles, wooden railings, horseshoe arches, louvered windows and other details.
