Sancti Spiritus is a charming town, with colorful facades built in the colonial era and cobbled streets. Sancti Spiritus city was founded in 1514 on the Tuinicu River bank and it is the oldest town in the central provinces of Cuba. In 1522, the town was moved to its current location, near Rio Yayabo. This river was called so after two specific Cuban things: ironed guayabera shirt, which was cut here for the first time here, and after guayaba fruit, that grows on river banks. The bridge that goes across the river is a national symbol.

The city of Sancti Spiritus, which is located near the geographical center of Cuba -between Santa Clara and Ciego de Avila - became the residence of the province in 1976.
