This square is dominated by life-size bronze statues of people sitting at benches. Around the square is an old church and an interesting gallery of lithography art works. We sure to wonder into the small streets that extend from the square to get what we thought was the best taste of life in a small Cuban city.

I walked around the city of Camaguey by foot and really had no plan. I did eventually find this place with its old and beautiful churches and typical cuban living quarters. You can walk around the area and find Cuban locals going about their daily lives. I found it to be very quiet when I was there during the day. There is no hustle and bustle in this city compared to bigger Cuban cities.If you travel uphill north of here, you will find a beautiful square with bars and restaurants frequented by locals and foreigners alike and it gets pretty lively once the sun goes down. It reminds me of old Europe with its cobblestone ground and ample outdoor seating.

This plaza was the closest to our Guest house, so it was the first place to visit.It is the most visited place in Camaguey. It features a fine church (Inglesia del Carmen) and the many large scale statues. The church has rather simple interior (see my photo).If you are lucky, the guys, who modeled for the bronze statues, will model for your photos. Small fee is expected of course.
