What the experts agree on
Colonial-era plaza where 18th-century buildings frame a leafy center perfect for people-watching. Musicians, booksellers, and café terraces create an authentic snapshot of everyday Havana life.
“So-called for its use as a drill field by colonial troops, this plaza was the city's administrative center and command post almost from the beginning.”
– Fodor's
