Remedios, Colonial settlement in Villa Clara Province, Cuba
The central square of Remedios contains two churches, including the Iglesia Mayor of San Juan Bautista with thirteen gold altars inside its walls.
Founded in 1514 by Vasco Porcallo de Figueroa, Remedios developed through agriculture and cattle farming before becoming a sugar production center in the 1700s.
The December Parrandas festival transforms the city into a competition between two neighborhoods, featuring fireworks, music, dancing, and handcrafted decorations.
Remedios sits 3 miles from the northern Cuban coast, with regular bus connections to Havana and the beach resorts of Santa María cays.
The Parroquia Mayor church holds thirteen intricately decorated gold altars that residents concealed from pirates during colonial times.
