Trinidad was founded in 1514 by Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar under the name Villa
De la Santísima Trinidad. Its one of the best preserved cities in the Caribbean
from the time when the sugar trade was the main industry in the region.
Nowadays, Trinidad's main industry is tobacco processing. The older parts of
town are well preserved as the Cuban tourism industry sees benefit from tour
groups. In contrast, some parts of town outside the non-tourist areas are very
run down and in disrepair, especially in the centre.

Outside the city lies the Ancón peninsula with a long sandy beach (Playa Ancón) and several resort hotels. Ancón was one of the first new resorts to be developed in Cuba following the 1959 revolution.Together with the nearby Valle de los Ingenios, it has been one of UNESCOs World Heritage sites since 1988.
