About this place
Santa Clara is the capital of Villa Clara province and sits near Cuba's geographic center. As the country's fifth-largest city, it combines a genuine provincial pace with frequent visitor connections — many travelers pass through en route to the northern cay resorts or while crossing the island by road or rail. Its central location makes it a natural base for journeys east to Camagüey, west to Havana, or south toward Trinidad and Cienfuegos.
