EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the entrance to the Plaza in Cienfuegos, Cuba, circa 1900. The image transports us to an era of grandeur and elegance, as horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians make their way through the ornate archway, adorned with intricate ironwork and vibrant foliage. Cienfuegos, known as the "Pearl of the South," was founded by the French in 1819 and boasted a unique blend of European and Caribbean influences. This is evident in the architecture of the plaza, which features a distinctly French colonial design. The grandeur of the entrance sets the stage for the beautiful buildings and lush gardens that lie beyond. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, when life moved at a slower pace and the simple pleasures of daily life were cherished. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, adding to the sense of tranquility and serenity. Despite the passage of time, the entrance to the Plaza in Cienfuegos remains a symbol of the city's rich history and cultural heritage. Today, visitors from around the world come to marvel at the beauty and charm of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, and to experience the unique character of this vibrant and fascinating city.
