Iglesia de la Caridad stands sentinel on the southeastern edge of the city. Constructed originally as a chapel in the 18th century, it got a couple of 20th-century renovations (1930 and 1945) and has a fine silver altar (c.1730) and image of the Virgin de la Caridad del Cobre complete with an embossment of Cuba's national flower, la mariposa (white jasmine).
