Sancti Spiritus - Yayabo Bridge (Puente Yayabo)

The old Yayabo Bridge (Puente Yayabo) which spans the Yayabo River is a national monument. It was built in 1825 and is the only way to access the city from the Trinidad side of Sancti Spiritus. The old stone structure has four rounded arches that reflect into the calm water making a picture perfect sight on windless days. The area around the bridge is the oldest portion of Sancti Spiritus. Avenue Menendez is the road running over the bridge and leading into the city center. Apart from the trains station there is very little to see on the southeastern side of the bridge.
