The archeticture and layout of Havana are amazing. I loved to walk its streets taking in the buildings, streets and plazas. Each building was someone’s dream at one time and we have inherited these at best to use and enjoy and at worst to neglect and destroy.

Catherdal of Havana in the Plaza del Cathedral. Plaza de la Catedral (English: Cathedral Square) is one of the five main squares in Old Havana and the site of the Cathedral of Havana from which it takes its name. Originally a swamp, it was later drained and used as a naval dockyard. Following the construction of the Cathedral in 1727, it became the site of some of the city’s grandest mansions. (wikipedia)
