About Sancti Spiritus

Sancti Spiritus is the capital city of the province of the same name. It was founded in 1514 by Diego Velásquez on the banks of the Tuinucú river. Becoming one of the seven originals cities of Cuba.

The city was on the site pirates, and after several attacks they set the town on fire, burning with it, all documents relating to its foundation. Then, in 1522, it was moved to the banks of Yayabo river, where it is today.

Though it receives very few visitors today, in the 17th and 18th centuries, it was the political, economic and military centre of the area. The pretty colonial centre has national monument status and has elegant mansions dating back to the previous centuries.

Sancti Spiritus has been on the shadows of Trinidad and others popular cities of the province among tourist. But it worth to stop at the town and walk around its cobblestone streets.

There is a couple of things that the people from Sacti Spiritus are pride of. One is Puente Yayabo (Yayabo bridge), it became the symbol of the city. The bridge was built by the Spanish in 1815.

This four-arched bridge has a medieval roman appearance, and it’s the only colonial era stone bridge remaining in Cuba.

Another pride for the city is the guayabera shirt. This famous man shirt was created in the town by the wives of the peasants who grew guava. The four pockets were used to keep food and tools. Travelers can learn much more about it at the Museo de la Guayabera, one of the places to visit in Sancti Spiritus.
