Cienfuegos, Cuba
Founded in 1819 by the Spanish, this colonial town was first inhabited by the French. It became a trading point for sugar cane, tobacco and coffee. According to UNESCO, Cienfuegos became the first example of a town that “reflected new socio-economic and cultural trends related to urban order, the role of public spaces, and public hygiene requirements for natural light and ventilation”.
