Description

The colonial town of Cienfuegos was founded in 1819 and it became a trading place for sugar cane, tobacco and coffee, according to UNESCO. The town, a world heritage site, first developed in the neoclassical style. It later became more eclectic but retained a harmonious overall townscape. Cienfuegos is the first architectural ensemble “representing the new ideas of modernity, hygiene and order in urban planning as developed in Latin America from the 19th century.”
