Known as Tampa's Historic Latin Quarter, Ybor City was founded by Vicente Martinez Ybor (e-bor) as a cigar-manufacturing center. Ybor is one of only two National Historic Landmark Districts in Florida. Red Brick buildings, wrought iron balconies and narrow brick streets give it an old-world charm. Ybor City offers an exotic blend of aromas, flavors, sights and sounds. From the scent of roasting Cuban coffee early in the morning to the Latin music late into the night, Ybor is a feast for the senses.
