460 CU - Trinidad and the Valley de los Ingenios (1988)

Brief Description

"Founded in the early 16th century in honour of the Holy Trinity, the city was a bridgehead for the conquest of the American continent. Its 18th- and 19th-century buildings, such as the Palacio Brunet and the Palacio Cantero, were built in its days of prosperity from the sugar trade."

特立尼达和洛斯因赫尼奥斯山谷

"特立尼达是16世纪初期为纪念复活主节而建立的,是征服美洲大陆的桥头堡。其18世纪和19世纪的建筑,包括帕拉西奥-伯尼特宫殿和帕拉西奥-坎特罗宫殿,都是在食糖贸易最繁荣的岁月建造的。"
