Cuba's capital, Havana, is the cosmopolitan centre of the Caribbean. A charming and lively city, home of cultural and international activities. You will be enthralled as you stroll through its colonial streets, its promenade, the rich nightlife and the warmth of its people.If you want to find out a little more about the history of Havana by visiting its museums and places of historical interest, you should start in the historical heart of Old Havana. Here you will find a web of narrow streets stretching from the sea to the modern part of the city. The port was originally known as Carenas, until 1519 when the Villa de San Crist_bal, founded to the south by Diego Vel_squez in 1514, was moved to the present site of Havana and subsequently given its present name. This story is told on the walls of the Templete, a tiny temple on one side of the Plaza de las Armas. |
