　　Keep heading south on Paseo del Prado and the street becomes the Malecón as it cuts alongside one of the world's finest natural bays, offering exquisite vistas. Like all waterside drives (Havana's being the archetype), this area comes alive in the evening when poets come to muse and couples to canoodle.

Must-see attractions
Castillo de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles de Jagua
Cienfuegos
　　Predating the city of Cienfuegos by nearly a century, this fort, to the west of the mouth of Bahía de Cienfuegos, was designed by José Tontete in 1738 and completed in 1745. At the time it was the third most important fortress in Cuba, after those of Havana and Santiago...
Teatro Tomás Terry
Cienfuegos
　　Sharing French and Italian influences, this theater on the northern side of Parque José Martí is grand from the outside (look for the gold-leafed mosaics on the front facade), but even grander within. Built between 1887 and 1889 to honor Venezuelan industrialist Tomás Terry, the 950-seat auditorium is embellished with...
Palacio de Valle
Cienfuegos
　　Just when you thought Cienfuegos' eclectic architecture couldn't get any more eclectic, you reach the southern end of Punta Gorda where, with a sharp intake of breath, you'll stumble upon the impossible-to-classify Palacio de Valle. Built in 1917 by Acisclo del Valle Blanco, a wealthy Spaniard from Asturias, the structure...
Necrópolis Tomás Acea
Cienfuegos
　　Perhaps the finest Cuban cemetery outside Havana and Santiago, the Acea is classed as a 'garden cemetery' and is entered through a huge neoclassical pavilion (1926) flanked by 64 Doric columns modeled on the Parthenon in Greece. This cemetery contains a monument to the marine martyrs who died during the...
Cementerio la Reina
Cienfuegos
　　A listed national monument, the city's oldest cemetery was founded in 1837 and is lined with the graves of Spanish soldiers who died in the Wars of Independence. This is the only cemetery in Cuba where bodies are interred above ground (in the walls), due to the high groundwater levels....
Palacio de Gobierno
Cienfuegos
　　Most of Parque José Martí's south side is dominated by this grandiose, silvery-gray building where the provincial government (Poder Popular Provincial) operates. The palace doesn't allow visitors, but you can steal a look at the palatial main staircase through the front door. It's in wonderful condition. From the outside the...
Palacio Ferrer – Museo de las Artes
Cienfuegos
　　On the western side of Parque José Martí, this riveting neoclassical building (1918) was lovingly restored in time for Cienfuegos' 200th anniversary in 2019. Inside art exhibits compete with expensive furnishings spearheaded by Italian marble floors and – most noticeably – a rooftop cupola equipped with a wrought-iron staircase, which...
Malecón
Cienfuegos
　　Keep heading south on Paseo del Prado and the street becomes the Malecón as it cuts alongside one of the world's finest natural bays, offering exquisite vistas. Like all waterside drives (Havana's being the archetype), this area comes alive in the evening when poets come to muse and couples to...
