Trinidad and the Valley de los Ingenios

Unesco description
Founded in the early 16th century in honour of the Holy Trinity, the city was a bridgehead for the conquest of the American continent. Its 18th- and 19th-century buildings, such as the Palacio Brunet and the Palacio Cantero, were built in its days of prosperity from the sugar trade.

Trinidad was founded in 1514 and one of the best-preserved cities in the Caribbean from the time when the sugar trade was the main industry in the region.
