Jose Marti Park

It is obvious that it is clearly the main attraction of the province. The city of Cienfuegos, perhaps the most beautiful of Cuba, was founded in 1819, with the name of Fernandina de Jagua, by the Frenchman Don Luis De Clouet together with other French settlers who had come from the Louisiana, the cleanliness of its urban design lend unique characteristics that differentiate it from other Cuban cities. In 1830 it reached the rank of town and changed its name to Cienfuegos in honor of the then Governor General of the island, Don José Cienfuegos.
