AVANA VEJA

Plaza de Armas
This is the most famous square in Havana and, they say, one of the most harmonious in Latin America. It is one of the richest squares in history and art.
The square takes its name from the baroque Catedral de La Habana which dominates the square; Here in the past the ashes of Christopher Columbus have been preserved, later brought back to Spain when Cuba won the war of independence in 1899. The construction was completed by the Franciscans in 1777.
