We are honored that the Centro Asturiano de Tampa is part of the Photo Ybor Gallery at the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts! This exhibit honors Ybor City's rich history through "then and now" photos.

Ybor City, one of only three National Historic Landmark Districts in Florida, boasts cobblestone streets and iconic cigar factories. Founded in 1886, it became the "cigar capital of the world" by 1900. Mutual aid societies like Centro Asturiano, established themselves supporting those that came here and their families.

We are proud to be part of Ybor City's story!

Today's a red carpet day for a piece of history! ✨

Thanks to Bill and Carmen Fisher, one of our iconic 1914 theater chairs has found a new home at the Ybor Visitors Center! This seat has witnessed countless performances and now gets to share its story with visitors. Head on down to the Ybor Visitors Center and see it for yourself!

If only these walls could talk...

For 110 years, they've witnessed countless stories unfold within our cantina. Here, under the same roof, generations have gathered around our iconic domino tables, the rhythmic click-clack echoing through the years.

A 1988 Tampa Tribune article tells the tale of Mario Gonzalez, Jose Servello, and Max Garcia, their triumphant shouts of "Hah!" ringing out as dominos slammed down. "When you go to play and you know the people, it's good you see?" - wise words that capture the essence of our community.

Games like these, traditions passed down, laughter and camaraderie - a timeless scene we hope continues for years to come.

A Legacy Etched in Stone: 110 Years Ago...

Our grand entrance, with its sweeping stone staircase and Doric columns, wasn't just an architectural detail – it was a statement. Newspapers declared it "the most beautiful building in the South," and over a century later, that spirit endures. Every step we take on that staircase echoes the legacy of Bonfoey and Elliot's design, and the generations who have walked these halls. We're grateful to be part of this timeless story.
