Magon

Magón was an Indigenous district of south-central Cuba, remembered in accounts of the island before the Spanish conquest. Early historical descriptions place it south of Cubanacán, between Guamuhaya to the west and Ornofay to the east. This country extends from the interior toward the shallow waters of the southern coast, where cays fringe the sea. Its old name preserves a piece of the island’s Indigenous geography.

The later city of Sancti Spíritus lies here.
