For an excellent view of Matanzas and the Valle del Yumurí, climb the recently renovated chapel dating from 1875. The chapel, somewhat above the city, was built by colonists from Catalonia in Spain as a symbol of their regional power. The statues in front of the chapel, also from Catalonia, representing its four provinces, were placed there during the shooting of a film and have not been taken away since.
