The present research work, a partial result of a scientific project, allows an approach to the activity of Manzanillo communists during the stage from 1925 to 1935. Its main objective is to demonstrate the cultural dimension of the Communist Party in the region of Manzanillo within the historical context of the Revolution of the 30, starting from the analysis of two important factors: the cultural inheritance and the cultural contribution of the historical phenomenon in their condition of human work. The resulting theoretical approaches made it easier to understand the necessity of a historical-graphical approach that assumes the dimension of that historical event and the considerable epistemological, cultural and scientific reasons associated to the historical science.

The defence system of Santiago de Cuba was configured around the colonial city with a wirefence joining the fortresses along its perimeter. This system evolved into the Ring of the old city, joining four different sectors -- Alameda, Martí, Libertadores and Trocha -- in response to projects or processes of consolidation across the time. This Ring, the city's point of articulation, was the place where Santiago's principal public spaces and facilities were inserted; it was recognized as a structure of high significance for its heritage values, tangible as well as intangible, while it also provided the place where the main activities of popular culture found expression. This study endeavours to analyse the historical process of the Ring's evolution and its urban characteristics, with a view to evaluating its significance in the urban context. It permits a definition of the Ring's heritage values, to serve as a strategy of darning with the aim of eliminating the discontinuities which have arisen through the city's consolidation process.
