Founded in the middle of the 18th century, it is the second largest city in the province of Ciego de Ávila. On entering the town you are met by an enormous cockerel, an artwork by the prestigious Cuban sculptress Rita Longa and a symbol of the region. One of its most remarkable buildings is its railway station, built at the beginning of the last century as the headquarters of the North Cuba Railway. Morón also has some remarkable archaeological treasures, currently on display in its museum.
