Dolores mansion
This is the old mansion of the former mill "Dolores" (built 1854). Some people now found a home in its ruins. They have their own tower at least. But there are legends about hearing the sound of thick chains rubbing against the floor, the swaying of armchairs, and the footsteps of people in the nights. Some residents say they feel the lament of slaves whipped by their owners and other stories, linked to what was one of the important Cuban sugar mills.
The factory owners had a large number of slaves for the domestic and agricultural work of the cultivation of sugar cane and their industrial work, in addition there were coffee plantations and palm groves, symbols of a splendor based on mistreatment and oppression. As was the custom at the time, the masters built a beautiful house there in 1872, a reflection of a remarkable economy of which there are still elements of its architecture, very deteriorated. The most striking thing is still the tower, which had a huge iron bell, whose tolling called for the endowment of slaves, dispersed in the more than 1600 hectares that made up the heritage.
