Puriales de Caujeri

An Oasis in the Eastern Cuba Surrounded by Mountains and Semideserts, scene of the brave mambisa and the passing of José Martí, Máximo Gómez and Maceo

Puriales History

Since the beginning of the colonization of the island, there are references of the presence of the Spaniards in the area. The proximity of Baracoa, the place where the Spaniards settled for the first time, a mighty river where there may have been gold, fertile land, an abundant aboriginal population and the magnificent conditions for the transfer of boats, represented an enormous attraction for the establishment of the Spaniards in this territory. Archaeological discoveries made in the area of El Palmar de Puriales show vestiges of a great activity of the colonizers. Remains of slabs from the period, buttons, bottles, coins, and a clay cup have been found in an aboriginal site near the place, which shows a transculturation of the aboriginal culture with the Spanish and, although the site is located in the depths of the territory in relation to the coasts; the existence of this "Cup", a unique object in Cuba allows us to affirm that the Spanish population in the place lasted a long time making it possible for some of its objects to be reproduced by the Indians in their ceramic culture.
