Hello dear community! This time I will continue to share with you images and stories of the emblematic places of Havana. City that I have been discovering under the lens of my mobile camera and that I have been sharing with you. In this post I will tell you about my tour of two emblematic places in the historic centre of the Cuban capital: the Cathedral Square and the Plaza de Armas. I hope you like it.
Cathedral Square
I will start by talking about the Cathedral Square. It is one of the most beautiful squares in Havana with a rich history that dates back to the beginning of the colonial era in Cuba, also known at the beginning as Plaza de la Cienaga because it was a low coastal area. It is located in the very heart of the historical centre, which today belongs to the municipality of Habana Vieja. Its name derives from the main architectural work located there: The Cathedral of Havana, a majestic baroque architectural work built between the 17th and 18th centuries. During that time this square has functioned as a social and religious centre where public and military events were held, as well as religious ceremonies. Throughout time it has preserved its historical-cultural and architectural charm, which has allowed it to qualify as a popular tourist destination.
