Havana, 489 Years Later

By Amauris Betancourt.

Named St. Christopher from Havana after Christopher Columbus, Havana looks definitely different nowadays.

Old Havana houses the famous Ceiba tree, place where the first mass was given in the seventh founded Cuban village turned into the capital of the country since late 16th century. Havana’s charisma spreads over beyond the seas for its architecture and peculiar human culture.

Havana charms foreigners in search of the Island’s way of life and he draw nationals to settle in seduced by the capital life bringing about over-population's problems.

Full of museums – formerly majestic palaces -, parks, monuments, plazas, fortresses, cultural activities, libraries, churches, hotels, bars and restaurants, Havana has been a source of inspiration to poets, musicians and intellectuals.
