Sancti Spíritus Province

The province stretches across central Cuba with mountainous regions in the west and flat coastal areas along the southern shore, featuring extensive mangroves and wetlands.

Dutch and British pirates attempted to control the province during the 17th century but faced strong resistance from Spanish garrisons stationed throughout the territory.

The province includes Trinidad, containing numerous colonial buildings and the Principal Theater, which maintains its original architectural elements from past centuries.

Agricultural production centers on sugar cane, cattle, tobacco, and rice, supported by irrigation from the Zaza Reservoir, the largest artificial lake in Cuba.

The Caguanes National Park contains extensive cave networks with archaeological sites and marine formations, earning recognition as a designated Biosphere Reserve.
