Santiago de Cuba is the capital of the Santiago de Cuba province in south-eastern Cuba. It lies in the southeastern area of the island, some 870 km (540 mi) southeast of the Cuban capital of Havana. The municipality extends over 1,023.8 square kilometers and contains the communities of Antonio Maceo, Bravo, Castillo Duany, Daiquirí, El Caney, El Cobre, El Cristo, Guilera, Leyte Vidal, Moncada and Siboney.
Santiago is the second city of Cuba, and the birthplace of the current government. Fidel Castro and others launched their revolutionary movement from here in 1953 with the attack to the garrison named Cuartel Moncada. Thanks to Cuba's relatively low traffic, and the compactness of the the city centre, Santiago is easily walkable. Nevertheless, it can be searingly hot (which is why you won't see many people out on the streets in the middle of the day), and the city is very hilly so stay hydrated, and don't overestimate your own energy levels. Taxis can be easily found around most of the major plazas in the city.
Trailblazing characters and a resounding sense of historical destiny define it. Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar made Santiago his second capital, Fidel Castro used it to launch his embryonic revolution, Don Facundo Bacardí based his first-ever rum factory here, and nearly every Cuban music genre from salsa to son first emanated from these dusty, rhythmic and sensuous streets.
Caught dramatically between the indomitable Sierra Maestra and the azure Caribbean, the colonial casco histórico (historical center) retains a time-worn air reminiscent of Salvador in Brazil or forgotten New Orleans. So don't let the hustlers, the speeding Chevys or the clawing heat defeat you. There's untold magic here too.
The local citadel of San Pedro de la Roca is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as the most complete, best-preserved example of Spanish-American military architecture, based on Italian and Renaissance design principles. The Baconao Park was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Biosphere Reserve List in 1987. The city features several historic architectural styles, from Baroque to neoclassical. Many colonial buildings have huge windows and balconies, where people can enjoy views of the steep streets and wooded hills. Preserved historical treasures include the first Spanish dwelling in the Americas, the first cathedral in Cuba, Cobre mine, the first copper mine opened in the Americas; and the first Cuban museum.
Santiago de Cuba is well known for its traditional dances, most notably son, from which salsa has been derived. The city celebrates Carnival in July, although it typically precedes Lent. With the city preoccupied with the holiday, Castro chose July 26 to enter undetected into the city to assault the Moncada Barracks. During Carnival, traditional conga music is played in the streets on a traditional pentatonic trumpet, called the trompeta china.

Santiago de Cuba
After a full day of travelling by taxi from Trinidad, we arrived late afternoon in Santiago de Cuba. We spent the day in the city where we visited the famous Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption in Parque Cespedes. Originally built on that site in 1522 before being burnt down, then fell down from an earthquake and what stands today is what was rebuilt in 1818. We also went to see the famous view from Balcón de Velázquez, which is the site of an old Spanish fort. That looks over the terracotta-tiled roofs of the Tivolí neighbourhood. We also were told by a local of the prison where Fidel Castro was held after the failed 26 July revolution that took place in 1953. In the afternoon we took a taxi up to Santa Ifigenia Cemetery where Fidel Castro's ashes were laid to rest in his hometown of Santiago in 2016. The cemetery pays a great homage to Jose Marti as his mausoleum stands as a kind of ancient medieval tower. After that visit, we headed back to Santiago, but the taxi driver told us of a place to travel to next. Baconao.

Powerful stuff.

STORYLINE
US Coast Guard officials loaded 50 earthquake survivors on a plane bound for Santo Domingo on Sunday, while Haitians in the quake-devastated capital of Port-au-Prince attended Sunday Mass in a partially collapsed cathedral.
From the Dominican capital, the evacuees were expected to travel on to other destinations.
Coast Guard Lieutenant Kevan Hanson the evacuees are being ferried to Santo Domingo to get them in a better condition.
The medical treatment will be better there. The living conditions will be better. Just to get them out of here, he said.
Many of the evacuees were children.
Colleen Hedglin was escorting children to safety. She described the evacuation as a gift. But said she would have to return.
We''re leaving lots of good friends behind. I''m going to come back.
As the main delivery point for aid, the airport was clogged with planes and personnel.
Workers unload planes that make it in, while helicopters and other planes land and takeoff.
The airport is a choke point for supplies, with the international effort straining its capacity.
The aid was slowly reaching survivors as rescue crews battled against time to pull out a shrinking number of people still alive under the ruins.
Among the ruins of Port-au-Prince''s Roman Catholic cathedral, Haitians were giving thanks for simply being alive at Sunday Mass.
Preaching to a small crowd of survivors inside the cathedral''s remaining walls after Tuesday''s magnitude-7.0 earthquake, Father Marie-Eric Toussaint said he advisor his congregation live with faith because it is a difficult situation to live through, but they have to trust God.
Nobody knows how many died in Tuesday''s quake.
The Pan American Health Organisation now says 50-thousand to 100-thousand people perished in the quake.

Black Madonna
A Black Madonna or Black Virgin is a statue or painting of Mary in which she is depicted with dark skin, especially those created in Europe in the medieval period or earlier. The Black Madonnas are generally found in Catholic countries. The term refers to a type of Marian statue or painting of mainly medieval origin, with dark or black features. The statues are mostly wooden but occasionally stone, often painted and up to 75 cm tall. They fall into two main groups: free-standing upright figures or seated figures on a throne. The pictures are usually icons which are Byzantine in style, often made in 13th- or 14th-century Italy. There are about 450–500 Black Madonnas in Europe, depending on how they are classified. There are at least 180 Vierges Noires in France, and there are hundreds of non-medieval copies as well. Some are in museums, but most are in churches or shrines and are venerated by devotees. A few are associated with miracles and attract substantial numbers of pilgrims.

SUMMARY
=======
In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages (or Medieval period) lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: classical antiquity, the medieval period, and the modern period. The medieval period is itself subdivided into the Early, High, and Late Middle Ages.
Population decline, counterurbanisation, invasion, and movement of peoples, which had begun in Late Antiquity, continued in the Early Middle Ages. The large-scale movements of the Migration Period, including various Germanic peoples, formed new kingdoms in what remained of the Western Roman Empire. In the 7th century, North Africa and the Middle East—once part of the Byzantine Empire—came under the rule of the Umayyad Caliphate, an Islamic empire, after conquest by Muhammad's successors. Although there were substantial changes in society and political structures, the break with classical antiquity was not complete. The still-sizeable Byzantine Empire, Rome's direct continuation, survived in the Eastern Mediterranean and remained a major power. The empire's law code, the Corpus Juris Civilis or Code of Justinian, was rediscovered in Northern Italy in 1070 and became widely admired later in the Middle Ages. In the West, most kingdoms incorporated the few extant Roman institutions. Monasteries were founded as campaigns to Christianise pagan Europe continued. The Franks, under the Carolingian dynasty, briefly established the Carolingian Empire during the later 8th and early 9th century. It covered much of Western Europe but later succumbed to the pressures of internal civil wars combined with external invasions: Vikings from the north, Magyars from the east, and Saracens from the south.
During the High Middle Ages, which began after 1000, the population of Europe increased greatly as technological and agricultural innovations allowed trade to flourish and the Medieval Warm Period climate change allowed crop yields to increase. Manorialism, the organisation of peasants into villages that owed rent and labour services to the nobles, and feudalism, the political structure whereby knights and lower-status nobles owed military service to their overlords in return for the right to rent from lands and manors, were two of the ways society was organised in the High Middle Ages. The Crusades, first preached in 1095, were military attempts by Western European Christians to regain control of the Holy Land from Muslims. Kings became the heads of centralised nation-states, reducing crime and violence but making the ideal of a unified Christendom more distant. Intellectual life was marked by scholasticism, a philosophy that emphasised joining faith to reason, and by the founding of universities. The theology of Thomas Aquinas, the paintings of Giotto, the poetry of Dante and Chaucer, the travels of Marco Polo, and the Gothic architecture of cathedrals such as Chartres are among the outstanding achievements toward the end of this period and into the Late Middle Ages.
The Late Middle Ages was marked by difficulties and calamities including famine, plague, and war, which significantly diminished the population of Europe; between 1347 and 1350, the Black Death killed about a third of Europeans. Controversy, heresy, and the Western Schism within the Catholic Church paralleled the interstate conflict, civil strife, and peasant revolts that occurred in the kingdoms. Cultural and technological developments transformed European society, concluding the Late Middle Ages and beginning the early modern period.
