Cienfuegos - coffee, tobacco and sugar. And also, this city is called the southern pearl Cuba, as it is located on the banks of the Caribbean and is a pretty overall seaport. If you ever find yourself in Cuba, I advise you to visit this city, because there are a lot of interesting places. Want to know what can be seen in the Cienfuegos? If so, I'll start.
Square Marty . Found the area at the beginning of the nineteenth century, in the very center of the city. Speed the square turned into a real park, since it was actively planted with trees. Its name, the area was in honor of José Marty, who was the Apostle Cuban Freedom. This area is noteworthy that almost all unique structures, a given city are concentrated on it. Here there is a corner for everyone. For example, a special rotunda was built for musicians. One thousand nine hundred and second year, on the very edge of the square, a triumphal arch was erected. This building, which is the only one throughout Cuba, was erected in honor of the separation of Spain from Cuba. As a result of this disconnection, the Cuban state received so long-awaited independence. As in the reasons, at the moment there are quite a lot of trees here and it is wonderful, because nothing pleases in a hot summer day, like a cool shadow under the crown of a tree. You can relax, cropped on a shop. I do not know how you, and I just adore such places, as you are at the same time in the city center and at the same time you are isolated from the fuss. In addition to buildings and trees, the squares are decorated with busts of outstanding people and sculptures. The square is surrounded by their architecture, the building - the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, the Government House and others. By the way, the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, which was erected in one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seventh year, at first glance, gives the impression that it is in unfinished state. However, all this is an illusion, since such an unusual effect is obtained exclusively due to the architectural style in which the towers of the cathedral are made.
Municipality of Sienfuegos . The main decoration of the building, which is rightfully considered a monument of architecture, is its facade. The face of the building, has a light gray and decorated with four columns. Since the structure is entirely and fully meets all the requirements of neoclassicism, it is quite clear why it matures the tower turning into the dome of the red and pink color, which in turn is crowned with a small turret. Thanks to its unique architectural style, the Municipality of the Sientfuegos is a decoration of not only the city in which it is located, but also the whole Cuba as a whole. I give a one hundred percent guarantee that you will not disappoint by visiting this building, because for sure you will get a lot of positive emotions.
Bengham Duarte Culture House . This attraction is more likely known as the Ferrer Palace. Its name, this house of culture, received in honor of the famous Cuban artist, whose works are exhibited not only in this building, and also in Paris, Yugoslavia, Copenhagen and Moscow. All seventy-four years, the great artist Benghamin Duarte, lived in the city of Sienfuegos, here he wrote most of his cloths. This outstanding person, it is quite possible to call with self-taught, because in all his life he never received academic education. Today, in the building of the House of Culture, various cultural events are carried out almost every week, musical concerts are held and meetings are organized. The building in which the house of culture is located in a colonial style, which is classic for Cuba. The structure has its own landmark - a small turret of the cone-shaped shape, which is located in the left wing of the building.
Cathedral of immaculate conception . About where this cathedral is located, I wrote a little higher, and for those who read not entirely carefully, I remind you that the cathedral can be seen by visiting the area of Marty, which is located in the central part of the city. Since the name of the cathedral, implies that it should be a model of indispensability and purity, it is quite natural and predictable that it is painted in bright and very tender tones. At the cathedral, there are two own bell tower, which are built directly on it. As for me, it very much destroys the impression of ideality, the fact that the bell tents have a different size, that is, they differ from each other in height. The facade of the cathedral is very richly decorated with religious images and stained glass windows on which twelve apostles are depicted. The inner decoration of the cathedral, fully stylized under the gothic style. Cathedral, is one of the most popular tourist objects, and it is very well deserved, since it is clearly worth what they saw. From two thousand and fifth year, the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Tomas Terry Terry . The theater was named, in honor of the wealthy industrialist, which has risening its condition on the production of sugar, which was not only a successful businessman, and also the governor of the city of Sienfuegos. The construction of the theater, ordered the sons of this very enterprising governor, the architect from Italy Ligo Sanchez Marmolo. For spectators, their doors, the theater opened one thousand eight hundred and eighty ninth year. The first season of its existence, the theater opened the famous Opera "Aida". At different times, celebrity such as Sarah Bernard, Enrico Caruso, Anna Pavlova and many others performed in the walls of this theater. Before this day, the building came in excellent form for their solid age. Want to know what it looks like?
This is a building of two floors. In the central part of the structure, there are five arched inputs, and right above them is a central balcony with huge squares. Over the central windows, you can see three mosaics on which graphic images are located. The whole building, both outside and from the inside, richly and generously decorated with great stucco. Going to the main hall, be sure to lift your eyes to the top, as there you will see the ceiling painting, which is the business of the artist's hands Camillo Salaya.
