Agramonte Park Camaguey

Parque Agramonte Camaguey

The Agramonte park covers the area of the square where the mayor founded the town in 1528. The Agramonte Park features four palms to remind Cubans of the 4 patriots executed for participating in the first independence uprisings in Jucaral Camaguey on July 4, 1851.

At the time, Cubans could not erect statues to their martyrs so, secretly in 1853, the square was honored with the 4 palm trees as a symbol of the future freedom of the Fatherland. The Cuban royal palm was used. The palms are therefore symbolic living monuments and, when a palm dies, it is replaced by a new one by the townsfolk.

Agramonte-Park-Camaguey

Visitors to Camaguey, who arrive for the first time, almost always gravitate towards Parque Agramonte, like the spiritual epicenter of the city. The historic center and Parque Agramonte have been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The bronze and granite man on horseback statue in the center of the park is a homage to General Agramonte.

The park also has a significant geographical importance, because it’s from here that the original urban core developed and later turned into the region we now call Camaguey.

Church of our Lady of Solitude Camaguey

Iglesia de la Nuestra Senora de la Soledad

Local legend attributes the origin of the Church of Our Lady of Solitude in Camaguey to the will of the Virgin, specifically in the second half of the seventeenth century. As the fable goes, a small box fell from a horse drawn cart at this exact location in the late 1600s. It was unexpectedly found to be very heavy indeed. Inside the box was an image of the Lady of Solitude, seeing it as a sign from heaven, the locals built a hermitage for it, which was later replaced by this church, completed in 1776.

The actual building dates back to 1776 and is one of the exponents of Cuban colonial baroque design. The restored exterior of this 18th-century church dedicated to Our Lady of Solitude leads to its well-conserved interior. Big square columns rise into high arches decorated with pretty floral frescoes, above which is a mudejar designed wooden ceiling with complex carved beams.

Home of Ignacio Agramonte Camaguey

Ignacio Agramonte Home Camaguey

While you’re in Camaguey, one of the popular city attractions is the birthplace of Ignacio Agramonte a Cuban revolutionary, who played a key role in Cuba’s famous Ten Year War between 1868 and 1878. Agramonte was born in the province of Puerto Principe which is now part of Camaguey. Born on December 23 1841, he was the son of a wealthy family who sent him to study law in Barcelona, Madrid, and Havana. After graduating as a lawyer in 1865, he joined ranks in the war of independence against the Spanish.

Casa-de-Ignacio-Agramonte

His birth home is a yellow colored colonial building with a wooden balcony perched on both sides, at the time one of the tallest structures in Camaguey. During his military carrier Ignacio Agramonte became a general in the Ten Years War against the Spanish and is a Cuban hero. He was killed in battle in 1873 and has been a Cuban legend and father of Cuba’s revolution ever since. Unfortunately, only half of the original house remains however; it has been fully restored and now features a museum. Its beautiful courtyard has the famous Camaguey manufactured tinajón strewn in every corner, and upstairs rooms are furnished with historic artifacts from the period including articles from the wars for independence.
