The city is the only Cuban city to hold the title of “Hero City of the Republic of Cuba”.
The streets of city are full of historic events by its brave people from the first wars of independence in the 19th century to the attack on the Moncada Barracks in 1953.

The city was founded in 1515 marking the beginning of the Spanish colonialism in the Caribbean. The historical center stretches for 1.55 sq mi. The city sits on top of marine terraces and it’s sheltered by the Sierra Maestra mountain range. The historical center’s limits mark the extension the city had until late 19th century.
