When you’re on holiday in Cuba, you can’t miss all the references to the Cuban Revolution, and Santa Clara is no different. This town was the location of the last battle of the Cuban Revolution and the impressive ‘Monumento a la Toma del Tren Blindado’ commemorates this. It sits on the exact spot where the battle took place.
Che Guevara who led the fight, is honoured all over Santa Clara. There’s a museum, and a statue dedicated to ‘El Che’ and a visit to the Che Guevara Mausoleum should definitely feature on your holiday itinerary.
Santa Clara does hold some non-revolution related sites. Head to Vidal Park, in the centre of town. Traditionally this was the park where single young people went to meet a partner, but today it’s still a popular meeting place for locals. On Sunday afternoons you can listen to improv performances by local musicians.
The centre of town boasts some interesting eclectic architecture; Examples of which are the Teatro la Caridad and the Centro Cultural. In town you’ll also find the Carmen Church which is the oldest church in town. It’s set in Parque del Carmen, home to the monument that’s dedicated to founders of Santa Clara.
