La Habana

Havana is the capital of Cuba. Spanish colonial architecture in central Old Havana from the 16th century includes the Castillo de la Fuerza Real, a fort, and a maritime museum. The National Capitol building is an iconic monument from the 1920s. Old Havana is also home to the baroque cathedral of San Cristóbal and Plaza Vieja, whose buildings reflect the city's dynamic architectural mix. Its historical, architectural and, above all, cultural heritage, expressed in the fusion between Europeans, Africans and Aboriginals at the beginning, together with other more contemporary ethnic and cultural components, make the city an important recipient of international tourism and the center of national life. Its historic center, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982, is today one of the best preserved architectural complexes in Latin America. Among its most representative monuments are the Cathedral of Havana, the Plaza de Armas, the Castillo del Morro, the Museum of the Revolution, the National Palace of Fine Arts, the Grand Theater of Havana, the Capitol, the Plaza de la Revolución and the Malecón, perhaps the most internationally recognized symbol of the city.
