The name "Matanzas" comes from an incident that occurred in the bay, in September 1510, the first contact of the Indians with the conquerors.
The city of Matanzas, which sits on the edge of a bay with calm waters and on undulating hills that cross three rivers, has been defined by several names, since its birth in 1693, "Sleeping Beauty", "The Cuban Venice" for its bridges or the "Athens of Cuba", land of poets.
