Batería Carbonel Centinela de la bahía de Jagua
Poco conocida y expuesta a la amenaza del tiempo y de los depredarores, ha permanecido durante años una batería de cañones emplazada en las márgenes de la bahía de Jagua, justo a su entrada. La dotación dio que hacer primero a corsarios y piratas que incursionaban por estos lares y, tiempo después, a las fuerzas de intervención norteamericanas, en las postrimerías del siglo XIX.

While sugarcane is the chief crop, local farmers grow coffee.
The downtown contains 6 buildings from 1819--50, 327 buildings from 1851--1900, and 1188 buildings from the 20th century. There is no other place in the Caribbean which contains such a remarkable cluster of Neoclassical structures.In 2004, the municipality of Cienfuegos had a population of 163,824. With a total area of 333 km2 (129 sq mi), it has a population density of 492.0 /km2 (1,274 /sq mi).The area was called the Cacicazgo de Jagua by the early Spaniards, and was settled by indigenous people.
The city was settled by French immigrants from Bordeaux and Louisiana, led by Don Louis de Clouet, on April 22, 1819. Its original name was Fernardina de Jagua, in honor of Ferdinand VII of Spain[citation needed]. The settlement became a town (Spanish: Villa) in 1829, and a city in 1880. The city was subsequently named Cienfuegos, sharing the name with Cienfuegos, a Captain General in this time, in the island.
Near Cienfuegos was the scene of a battle on May 11, 1898, between American marines who attempted to sever underwater Spanish communication lines and the Spanish defenders.
During the Cuban Revolution the city saw an uprising against Fulgencio Batista and was bombed, on September 5, 1957.

Amazing Cienfuegos, Cuba. Стоте огньове на Куба.
Cienfuegos, the hundred fires of Cuba. Enjoy this short film of my trip to this amazing town.
Стоте огньове на Куба. Насладете се на краткото ми филмче от пътуването ми до Сиенфуегос . Един град съчетал уникална архитектура с история. Това е място където е пял И великия Карузо. Малко валеше, но все пак си заслужаваше посещението. По обстойно прошетване следващия път :) Приятно гледане и се абонирайте :)
