Capital of Cuba and the country's administrative, political, cultural and scientific center, it is also the capital of two provinces: City of Havana and Havana. Though only around 280 square miles (727 square kilometers) in size-0.65 percent of the archipelago's total area.
The Old Havana and system of forts led UNESCO to declare it a part of world heritage in 1982. Founded on its present site in 1519, the settlement of San Cristobal de La Habana prospered mainly due to its bay, which was a natural port of call for ships sailing to and from the New World. Starting in 1634, because of its strategic location, San Cristobal de La Habana was considered the key to the New World-as attested to by royal letters patent-and the main defense of the West Indies.
The Cuban capital consists of an immense number of buildings in a wide range of architectural styles, built in the course of nearly five centuries. These styles range from the pre-baroque to the baroque, neo-Gothic, neoclassical, eclectic, art noveau and art-deco, to the modern.
Alejo Carpentier, one of Cuba's most famous authors, called it "the city of columns" and focused attention on its streets, which he considered a perennially rich show of life, humanity and contrasts that was bound to entertain any observer.
Over 14 kilometers of excellent beaches lie to the east of the Cuban capital. To the south, a green belt contributes to a healthful atmosphere.

LoArt Decorative
Its building, once the residence of the Countess de Revilla de Camargo, constitutes today an amazing exponent of Cuban architecture during first part of XX century. Its collection is breathtaking: carpets Aubusson, Oriental porcelains, Sèvres, Faenza, Meissen, Wedgewood or Chantilly, catalan glass, Jansen doors, wooden ornaments of Norabuena and Stuart, Tocqué paintings, Nattier, Largilliere and Hubert Robert. You will also be able to admire the fine dining-room decorated in Regency style, a luxurious bath-room, a bed-room decorated out of Chinese varnish and a secretaire once owned by Marie Antoniette. Don’t forget to walk through the delicious garden. -

Opulent Vedado mansion in a neighbourhood full of restored and crumbling 19th century mansions. Great decorative arts collection "nationalized" in the revolution, but for me the house itself was worth the visit on its own. Don't miss the second floor pink marble bathroom with hinged marble panel entry door, and the fantastic skylight over the stair. -
