The historic center of Cienfuegos was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. It features a mix of neoclassical and eclectic architecture, with notable buildings such as the Teatro Tomás Terry and the Palacio de Valle. The city's layout reflects the influence of French urban planning, resulting in wide streets and parks.
