Estadio Augusto César Sandino

Estadio Augusto César Sandino is a baseball stadium in Santa Clara with a notable concrete structure and generous seating area. The roof is supported by 148 concrete columns, while the entrance area features Cuban marble flooring.

The stadium was designed by architects Emilio Castro and Gustavo R. Arnavat and opened in 1966. It was among the first modern sports facilities built in Cuba during that era.

The stadium is home to the Villa Clara Naranjas and draws baseball fans from across the region. The sport shapes the social life of the city and this place is where people gather to share moments together.

The venue is lit by ten lighting towers that make it possible to watch games in the evening. A water system supplies the grounds through gravity, making the infrastructure self-sufficient.

The architecture was so successful that the same design was later copied in other Cuban cities like Camagüey and Matanzas. This shows how much trust there was in this approach.
