The authors consider the anisotropic Heisenberg model on curved surfaces with cylindrically symmetry. They study a class of topological spin textures on these manifolds in such way that both, soliton and vortex-like solitons are considered. Solitons are predicted to appear on an infinite cylindrically symmetric surface, if the isotropic case is taken into account. The energy and the anisotropy parameter which stabilizes the vortex state are explicitly calculated for two surfaces: catenoid and hyperboloid. The results show that the anisotropy and the vortex energy depends on the underlying geometry.
