Ybor City, Historic district in Tampa, United States
Streets lined with brick buildings and wrought iron balconies preserve the architecture from the 1880s cigar manufacturing era in this Tampa neighborhood.
Vicente Martinez-Ybor established this district in 1885, transforming it into a major cigar production center with immigrants from Cuba, Spain, and Italy.
The neighborhood maintains its heritage through Cuban restaurants, cigar shops, and social clubs that continue traditional practices from the immigrant communities.
The TECO Line Streetcar connects visitors from downtown Tampa to Ybor City, providing access to restaurants, breweries, and entertainment venues.
Free-roaming chickens wander the streets of Ybor City, protected by local laws as living symbols of the district's early days.
