Cathedral Square at Old Havana

The Cathedral Square was the last to be formed of the main colonial squares. That makes it the newest of the four main squares of the city. A glance around allows us to enjoy the view of elegant palaces, embellished with porticos that give shade and protection.

Centuries ago, the most important aristocrats and merchants of this city lived here. This was one of the most elegant places in Havana where important religious ceremonies and celebrations were held. Here businessmen gathered to discuss their great successes. For artisans, traders and artists this was considered one of the most attractive meeting places.
