Camagüey

Founded in 1514 and redesigned as a deliberate maze after Henry Morgan burned it in the 17th century, Camagüey is a large city in central Cuba whose irregular street plan earned its old town UNESCO World Heritage status in 2008. The centre holds many historic churches and colonial buildings, and the city is known for its clay pots — called tinajones — traditionally used to collect rainwater. It is also the birthplace of independence figure Ignacio Agramonte, commemorated by an equestrian monument unveiled in 1912.
