    Just enjoy the buildings on this plaza or take a sit on the bench and let the Cuban atmosphere come to you.

    Around the plaza you can find many colonial buildings and even a small Santeria shrine in one of the houses. There are many things to explore in that neighbourhood.

    You will see the children playing on the streets with their own made toys.

    The baroque, Plaza Mayor, made up in the 19th century,very elegant adorned with sitting areas, statuary, palm trees, and gardens enclosed by white iron fences, is one of Cuba's most beautiful squares.
    Untill sunset this is just a square with many people asking you to eat in their paladares, but then, after dinner the square and the streets nearby become a huge concert of people playing singing and dancing.

    This city square...is chucked full of wonderful buildings and is really a treat to see...the respect that the local people have for this part of they're city is obvious because it is by far the cleanest and decorated venue in the parts of the city that I saw...

    The buildings surrounding this central square date from the 18th and 19th centuries when trade in sugar from Valle de los Ingenios and slaves, enabled the city to prosper...Many of the buildings belonged to the wealthy landowners of the city and are now museums...

    Among the buildings seen here are the Church of the Holy Trinity..The House of the Conspirators...The Brunet Palace...or the Romantic Museum...The Church and Monastery of Saint Francis (Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco), and the Museum of Guamuhaya Archeology...just to name a few....and most of these building are significant in the history of Trinidad and Cuba...

    The small sloping central square is laid out in gardens on a tiered like platform with paths dividing it in quarters. The resulting four small area of garden are fenced off by white-painted ironwork fences. Cobbled streets isolate the square from the surrounding buildings. Wrought-iron lamp-posts, statues of English greyhounds and columns with large pottery finials decorate the square.

    This is the HEART of the preserved old part of the city and its a must see when and if you're here...you really cant miss it if you might be exploring Trinidad...

    The 19th-century Plaza Mayor adorned with tall palm trees and little gardens enclosed by white wrought-iron fences is one of Cuba's most beautiful squares and the centre of Trinidad's old town. On its northwest corner is the cathedral, the Iglesia de la Santisima Trinidad.
