Cumaná

Cumaná is a city in Venezuela, the capital of Sucre State and the municipal seat of the Sucre municipality. It is located on the Caribbean coast of Venezuela, at the mouth of the Manzanares River. Cumaná is one of the oldest continuously inhabited European settlements in the Americas, founded by the Spanish in 1515. It was a significant port during the colonial era and played a role in Venezuela's independence movement.

The city's economy is largely based on fishing, tourism, and commerce. Cumaná is known for its beaches, historical sites, and vibrant culture. Notable landmarks include the Castillo San Antonio de la Eminencia, a colonial fortress offering panoramic views of the city and coastline, and the Catedral de Cumaná. The city experiences a tropical savanna climate with warm temperatures year-round. It is served by Almirante Padre Gerónimo de Uztáriz Airport. Cumaná has faced challenges related to infrastructure and economic development, but remains an important cultural and economic center in eastern Venezuela.
