Photofeed Contest-Cityscape Photography Round 162

Hello dear friends of the @photofeed lens, this time I'm sharing an image that deeply saddens me. It belongs to a small town in Las Tunas, Cuba, called Manatí. The image you see shows the ruins of what was once a great sugar mill, the fifth largest in Cuba, with a milling capacity of 850,000 arrobas of sugarcane per day. Founded in 1912 and operating until 2002, it was called the Manatí Sugar Company until 1959. After the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, it was renamed Argelia Libre by the government. Now in ruins, it had its share of record-breaking times, holding the fourth-highest annual sugar production record by surpassing one million sacks in the 1951-1952 harvest. Sadly, sugar is no longer produced there, but it was a major source of employment in the aforementioned small town.

As always, I must tell you that, for this post, I am using Google Translate.
