[{"Comment":{"id":"1912484","total_score":"57","content":"HACIENDA IZNAGA-Located in the Valley of the Sugar Mills is perhaps the most iconic, most visited and best preserved. He belonged to a wealthy Basque owner, Don Francisco de Iznagas. It is located on the way to Trinidad, access is well indicated. It was built in 1816 and is famous tower, the Torre Iznagas. It is a wooden tower 45 feet high which served as a lookout for the overseer of the plantation to watch the slaves working on the plantation, if surrendered at work but especially if they fled through the ca\u00f1izares, the fleeing slaves were known as \"Maroons\" and were chased to exhaustion. The foreman told us a funny story about this Tower. Don Francisco de Iznagas had twin sons and give them a certain good wur wanted both brothers. to settle raised their rivalry to see who built the first tower and who built first a pit 45 meters to obtain water, tied for achievement and Don Francisco were left with the good he had put on lid to the two brothers . La Hacienda is beautifully decorated with utensils, paintings and tapestries of the time. It is curious cane press operated by hand by slaves, still in use today. The rich guarapo mixed with fresh water is extracted. Formerly the home-huts of the slaves were on one side of the estate, still preserved some stables serving. Opposite the Treasury and outside the campus a more decent houses were built, today is a village inhabited and women will benefit from visits to the Treasury to sell guayabera shirts, souvenirs, arts and crafts. Some of the articles are interesting because they really are handicrafts made by themselves. www.rodamons.net","title":"The Iznaga Tower","hidden":0,"post_time":"2013-07-26 18:01:50","lang_flag":"es","original_content":"HACIENDA IZNAGA-\r\n\r\nSituada en el Valle de los Ingenios es tal vez la m\u00e1s emblem\u00e1tica, m\u00e1s visitada y mejor conservada.\r\n\r\nPerteneci\u00f3 a un rico propietario vasco, Don Francisco de Iznaga.\r\n\r\nSe encuentra en el camino hacia Trinidad, el acceso est\u00e1 muy bien indicado.\r\n\r\nSe construy\u00f3 en 1816 y es famosa su torre, la Torre Iznaga.\r\nEs una torre de madera de 45 metros de altura que serv\u00eda de mirador para el capataz de la plantaci\u00f3n para poder observar a los esclavos que trabajaban en la plantaci\u00f3n, si rend\u00edan en su trabajo pero sobre todo si hu\u00edan a trav\u00e9s de los ca\u00f1izares, a los esclavos que hu\u00edan se les conoc\u00eda como \u201ccimarrones\u201d y se les persegu\u00eda hasta la extenuaci\u00f3n.\r\n\r\nEl mayoral nos explic\u00f3 una curiosa historia acerca de esta Torre.\r\nDon Francisco de Iznaga ten\u00eda dos hijos mellizos y para darles un bien determinado wur deseaban ambos hermanos. para dirimir les plante\u00f3 una rivalidad, a ver quien constru\u00eda primero la torre y quien constru\u00eda primero un pozo de 45 metros para la obtenci\u00f3n de agua, empataron en el logro y Don Francisco se qued\u00f3 con el bien que hab\u00eda puesto en lid a los dos hermanos.\r\n\r\nLa Hacienda est\u00e1 muy bien decorada con utensilios, pinturas y tapices de la \u00e9poca.\r\n\r\nResulta curiosa la prensa de ca\u00f1a de az\u00facar manejada a mano por los esclavos, a\u00fan en uso hoy en d\u00eda.
