Plaza Mayor
The heart of the old town of Trinidad, ringed by palms, iron railings, and colorful colonial mansions, with the main museums and churches gathered around it.
Plaza Mayor was built during the heyday of the 19th-century sugar trade. Its central garden has ornate iron railings, white vases, and palm trees, and it is surrounded by the Holy Trinity Church, the Palacio Brunet (Museum of Romanticism), the Museum of Architecture, and the Archaeological Museum. The square is open all day and free to enter. The cobblestones are uneven, so wear flat shoes. Early morning or late afternoon is the best time for photos, as daytime crowds are heavy. Artisan stalls in the lanes nearby sell embroidery and pottery.
