Siguanea

Siguanea is an Indigenous name associated with the island south of western Cuba later called Isla de Pinos. Its broad southwestern bay offers shelter on a coast of shallow waters and cays. Indigenous inhabitants left paintings in caves on the island, while the sheltered shores later attracted sailors and privateers. Christopher Columbus visited the island during his second voyage in 1494 and called it La Evangelista.

The later city of Nueva Gerona lies here.
