Bayamo

Bayamo was established in 1513, making it one of the earliest cities in Cuba.

Francisco Iznaga, elected mayor in 1540, originated a powerful lineage that settled in Trinidad.

In 1827, Bayamo acquired the status of a city.

Only about 15% of Bayamo's population relies on motorized transport.

Perucho Figueredo, a notable resident, composed the Cuban national anthem.
