PLAZA DE ARMAS
The Plaza de Armas, formerly the Plaza de la Iglesia (Church Square), houses the city's first parish church. In addition to being a religious symbol, it is also the site of political and military institutions. After the demolition of the church in 1776, the square took on its current dimensions. In the 19th century, the captain general gave grandiose parties there, and the nobility rode in carriages. From restoration to restoration, the square has recovered its 1841 appearance: only the statue of Ferdinand VII has been replaced by that of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes.

Le Palacio Municipal est particulièrement à noter, avec son patio agréable, avec sa statue de Christophe Colomb et des pièces renfermant des mobiliers et décorations anciennes.
