Sights
Plaza Gral José Ballivián
Trinidad's loveliest feature is Plaza Gral José Ballivián, with its tall, tropical trees, lush
gardens and community atmosphere. You can spend a pleasant evening eating ice cream
and listening to the rhythmic drone of hundreds of motorcycles orbiting around the
square. In the past, the traffic was refereed by a police officer who sat in a big wooden
chair and conjured up red, yellow and green traffic lights by touching an electric wire
against one of three nails. On the south side of the plaza, the
cathedral
(Plaza Gral José
Ballivián; admission free)
, built on the site of an earlier Jesuit church, is an unimpressive
building that doesn't even have its own bells - the on-the-hour bell ringing is played from
a recording.
