Trinidad is a Cuban town of about 75,000 inhabitants in the province
central Sancti SpĆritus. Together with the nearby Valle de los Ingenios is
listed as a World Heritage site by UNESCO since 1988.
Trindidad was founded by Diego VelƔzquez de CuƩllar in 1514 as
Villa De la SantĆsima Trinidad. It is one of the best preserved city of
the Caribbean, from the time when sugar was the main
Trade in these places. They own the remains of that period
colonial slavery, which flourished in Trinidad, to be the largest
attraction of visitors and the very reason of the prestigious
recognition that UNESCO has given the city and the whole area
surrounding most directly interested in the cane growing
sugar (Valle de los Ingenios). Today the primary entry
economy of these places is the processing
tobacco.
The oldest part of town is the best preserved and is the subject
sightseeing by organized tours. In contrast, other
areas outside the tourist part, also very central, pay
in a state of semi-neglect and are a reflection of a widespread unease in the
and cities across the country.
Outside the city is the famous Peninsula Ancon with a well known and
wide sandy beach (Playa Ancon) on which stands a complex
Tourism, one of the first born after the revolution of 1959.

Trinidad ĆØ una cittĆ cubana di circa 75.000 abitanti della provincia centrale di Sancti SpĆritus. Insieme alla vicina Valle de los Ingenios ĆØ un sito indicato come Patrimonio dell'umanitĆ dall'UNESCO fin dal 1988.
Trindidad fu fondata da Diego VelĆ”zquez de CuĆ©llar nel 1514 con il nome di Villa De la SantĆsima Trinidad. Ć una delle cittĆ meglio conservate di tutti i Caraibi, dall'epoca nella quale lo zucchero era il principale commercio in questo luoghi. Sono proprio i resti di quel periodo coloniale e schiavista, nel quale fiorƬ Trinidad, ad essere la principale attrazione dei visitatori e il motivo stesso del prestigioso riconoscimento che l'UNESCO ha conferito alla cittĆ e a tutta l'area circostante più direttamente interessata alla coltivazione della canna da zucchero (la Valle de los Ingenios). Oggi la voce principale dell'economia di questi luoghi ĆØ costituita dalla lavorazione del tabacco.
La parte più vecchia della città è quella meglio preservata ed è oggetto di visite turistiche da parte di tour organizzati. Al contrario, diverse zone al di fuori della parte più turistica, anche molto centrali, versano in stato di semi-abbandono e sono lo specchio di un disagio diffuso nella città e in tutto il Paese.
Fuori dalla città c'è la famosa penisola di Ancón con una rinomata e ampia spiaggia di sabbia (Playa Ancón) sulla quale sorge un complesso turistico, fra i primi nati dopo la rivoluzione del 1959.
