Parque Cespedes Santiago de Cuba

Parque Cespedes Santiago de Cuba

Cespedes Park is the epicenter of Santiago de Cuba and offers a perfect insight into Cuban life. The romanticism of Cubans is demonstrated here through; talking, hustling, flirting, guitar strumming groups who offer impromptu musical serenades. Under the watchful eye of the bronze bust of Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, famous founding father of the Cuban independence in 1868, street life seamlessly continues before your very gaze.

Annexed to the Casa de la Trova music hall and blessed by the shadows cast by the Hotel Casa Granda, the Parque Céspedes is probably THE place to see Santiago de Cuba from the inside out. Drop into the Casa de la Cultura Miguel Matamoros for a glimpse into local culture. The neoclassical city hall building or Ayuntamiento can be found at the northern end of the square, built in the 1950s it employs a design from 1783 and was previously the site of Mayor Hernan Cortes office.

There are various Museums near to Parque Cespedes
