019/Plaza de la Catedral, Havana Cuba.

map of old havana

At the centre of old Havana is this cobbled plaza de la Catedral, ringed on three sides by low colonial buildings, its focal point is the ornate cathedral, its cuban baroque style reminiscent of melted wax on a candle. (built in 1704) The square is much as it used to be in the 1950s when pre-revolution Havana was a playground for the rich and a haunt of the Mafia. At sunset you can hear the music from the band on the terrace with locals dancing in the square and the scent of cigar smoke in the air.
