Santiago Bay
The almost enclosed bay, with its narrow entrance channel, forms a large, calm void in the composition and explains why the city grew where it did.

The map
About this Santiago de Cuba map poster
Santiago de Cuba occupies the slopes around a sheltered bay on the southeastern coast of Cuba, and its map is all about the meeting of water and hills. The narrow bay opens to the Caribbean through a slender channel guarded by the Castillo del Morro. The old town climbs steeply from the waterfront in a grid of short blocks, and the mountains of the Sierra Maestra close the view to the west.
Founded in 1515 by Diego Velázquez, the city was Cuba's first capital and remains its second largest. It is closely tied to the island's political history: the attack on the Moncada Barracks in 1953 marked the start of the revolution. The Castillo de San Pedro de la Roca, better known as El Morro, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site overlooking the harbour entrance.
A Santiago de Cuba map poster turns this landscape into line work. The bay forms a large open shape, the colonial centre packs tightly around Parque Céspedes, and newer districts spread across the hills in curving streets. In monochrome the drama of the setting still comes through, carried by the contrast between dense old blocks and open water.

Colonial grid
The historic core around Parque Céspedes and the cathedral is laid out in short, steep blocks, which appear on the map as a dense, regular cluster near the waterfront.
El Morro headland
At the mouth of the bay the fortress of San Pedro de la Roca sits on a rocky point, a small but precise detail at the southern edge of the poster.
