Tribute to the Workforce. The history of the Workers’ Square in Camagüey.Cuba

in Worldmappin7 months ago


The Workers’ Square in Camagüey, Cuba, is an emblematic space that reflects the history and culture of this city. Located in the heart of the city, the square has become an important meeting point for inhabitants and visitors alike.


Surrounded by historic buildings such as the birthplace of Ignacio Agramonte, Santa Cecilia Convention Center, Radio Cadena Agramonte and local shops, the Workers’ Square is a place where the community meets to celebrate cultural, political and social events. Its name pays homage to the workforce of Camagüey and its contribution to the development of the region.

Years ago this square was known as La Merced, because the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Merced was built in 1978 and it began to be called the workers’ square from 1960.





The center of the square is dominated by a typical Cuban tree; a Ceiba, which represents independence. In addition, the green surroundings and the banks provide a quiet place to rest and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. We can also find a life-size statue of our national poet Nicolas Guillen made by the Camagueyan artist Martha Jimenez.




The Workers’ Square is a reflection of the history and identity of Camagüey, a place where citizens gather to commemorate their achievements and share their culture. This square is an important landmark that not only honors the work of the community, but also serves as a symbol of local unity and pride.
