Trinidad Cuba Cityscape II

Description
Climb up to the rooftop of one of the Trinidad Cuba’s museums and you get a great view of the rest of the town, including the tower of the Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco, or Church and Monastery of Saint Francis. Built in 1813 by Franciscan monks, the building became a parish church in 1848, and in 1895 was converted into a garrison for Spanish troops. The church fell into disrepair, and in 1920 much of it was demolished, leaving only the bell tower and a few nearby buildings. This neglect froze the city in a time warp that allowed it to retain its colonial ambience. Thus, the central part of Trinidad is now part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The yellow bell tower is all that remains of the former monastery and it now houses the Museum of the Fight Against Bandits. The bandits in question were the counter-revolution forces that took refuge in the nearby Escambray Mountains and fought against Fidel Castro's for the first 6 years of his government.
