A solemn session of the Municipal Assembly of the People´s Power of Bayamo and several cultural activities, will celebrate today the 506 anniversary of the foundation of the San Salvador Village, Cradle of the Cuban Nationality and capital of the current province of Granma.
Reydier Bernal Gómez, vice president of the governing body, told ACN that the important meeting will be preceded by the traditional Ceremony of the Flags at the Revolution Plaza, the first place named in that way on the Island.
Later, delegates and guests will move to the Bayamo Theater, where the main social and economic achievements of the territory will be exhibited.
He added that, workers with outstanding performances in several areas will also receive recognition.
The celebrations for the 506 anniversary of the second village founded by the Spanish conquerors in Cuba, include an exchange space on the historic city and its socio-cultural development, scheduled to be developed at the Wax Museum, the only institution of its type in the country.
The program includes the presentation of the Guiñol Pequeño Principe theater group with the play Una ciudad, una historia, at the emblematic Plaza del Himno.
The activities will also reach educational spaces such as the Luz Vázquez and Moreno junior high school, where the Hombre de Marmol (Man of Marble) conference on the illustrious Bayames patriot Carlos Manuel de Céspedes will be held.
Starting last Friday, the celebration of the former San Salvador de Bayamo Village included theoretical events, children´s shows, performances of comedians, handicrafts, photo exhibitions and concerts.
The current National Monument City was founded by Diego Velázquez in 1513, and although the exact site and date of the event still differ according to the researchers, its anniversary has been celebrated on November 5th, for decades. (By: Daimara Pérez Suárez, ACN)
