Camagüey: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Camagüey is Cuba's third-largest city and the capital of the province bearing the same name. Founded in 1514, the city is notable for its historic center, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. The city's distinctive architecture features a maze-like street layout, originally designed to protect against pirate attacks, and numerous churches with large clay pots called tinajones, which have become a symbol of the city.

Camagüey has a rich cultural heritage, being home to important cultural institutions including several theaters, art galleries, and museums. The city has historically been an important center for Cuban arts, particularly in ballet, visual arts, and literature. Known as the 'City of Churches' due to its many religious buildings, Camagüey combines colonial architecture with a vibrant contemporary cultural scene.
