The fourth Cuban patrimonial village, Sancti Spíritus, is today a place of legends and realities, of renovations to celebrate this June 4 the 510th anniversary of its founding by the Spaniards.
The people of Sancti Spíritus live attached to their traditions without abandoning development and modernity as a city that in the 16th century was the union of the east and west of the island.
On the eve of the festivity, the bell ringer of the Parroquial Mayor del Espiritu Santo makes the tolling reach the farthest places of the town as a welcome to the new foundational anniversary.
The Catholic temple with more than three centuries of existence is one of the best preserved in Cuba and in its dome as trophies of time are four campaigns cast in gold, silver and bronze by artisans of Trinidad, Cultural Patrimony of Humanity.
