Architectural Buildings

With influences ranging from French neoclassical and Art Deco to Spanish Moorish and colonial baroque, Cuba's architecture never fails to captivate its visitors. In 1982, UNESCO declared La Habana Vieja, or "Old Havana," as a World Heritage Site. It is the historic heart of the capital city. From walls to churches, the historic town is steeped in colonial and revolutionary history The verdant Valle de Los Ingenios World Heritage Site features various antiques and structures from the 19th century. The crumbling colonial monuments have their own kind of beauty, which contributes to the city's allure.

When coming to Cuba, you must visit Trinidad. The city center's beautifully renovated buildings and cobblestone streets convey a charming colonial vibe. Much of the building stems from the 17th to 19th centuries when Trinidad thrived on the sugar and slave trades. The cobblestone Plaza Mayor, the city's major plaza, has a bustling vibe. The neoclassical Church of the Holy Trinity rises above the square. Driving or horseback riding through the beautiful scenery of green sugar cane fields, palm trees, and mountains is one of the best things to do in Trinidad, Cuba.
