Alejo Carpentier’s Marvelous Real describes Havana is the date of beautiful city and our Havana, because it’s not about rural landscapes and the gorgeous view of being the most beautiful city, although the sea. that’s how we see it, but about being extraordinary, real for everyone, with good and bad. It has the quality to amaze us. In it, modern and old coexist, a little piece of a wall that is hundreds of years old next to a recent building. With the distinctive touch of those who are born here, and those who come from other parts of the country, forever or just passing through. It is the result of all Cubans, fragments of customs, cultures, legends, foods, words from every corner of Cuba. As Fernando Ortiz said, Havana is an Ajiaco made by the contribution from each province, each people, everyone.

The first mass was celebrated in its shadow and the Cabildo (Town Council) was formed to guard the new village. This place was perpetuated by a commemorative Ceiba tree.The one we can find now is not the original, several have grown in this place, but each time this tree is planted and the mysticism about the tree remains. Later, in 1754, the governor Don Francisco Cagigal de la Vega erected a three-faced column with an image of the Virgin of Pilar on top. Two inscriptions were placed at the base. One in Latin and the other one in old Spanish, about those events.

According to Eusebio Leal Spengler, territory of the Taino cacique Habaguanex, Historian of the City of Havana, it was hence the name Havana. The communal decided to assume the year 1519 as the date of coat of arms of Melena del Sur bears the foundation, since there is no evidence of the inscription: HIC PRIMO HABANA CONDIDA first settlement, as there is of the location to EST, translated as: “Habana was founded the north. here first”.

NUESTRA HABANA 6 Industriales TEAM Havana´s baseball team owes its name to an initiative of Commander Ernesto Che Guevara. He was the Minister of Industry and he proposed the creation of a team to represent workers of the industry sector which was so important in the economy of the country. It is the oldest of the teams that participate in our national classics. They are the Lions of the Capital as well. BLUE color Blue is the color of the capital, since this area is surrounded by navy blue. This territory has more than forty kilometers of coast where there are included the bay, one of the most important ports of the continent, beautiful beaches and the Malecón, the last one joins the sky creating a symphony of blue tones. Another element of why blue identifies those who were born or reside in the capital is that this color is found on the city’s coat of arms and represented the Almendares Club of the former Cuban Professional Baseball League, the predecessor of the Industriales team.

It challenges the notion of a “great divide” between Republic and Revolution by tracing contentious interactions between technocrats, politicians, and financial elites on one hand, and mobilized, mostly-Afro-descended tenants and shantytown residents on the other hand. The dynamics of housing inequality in Havana not only reflected existing socio- racial hierarchies but also produced and reconfigured them in ways that have not been systematically researched.

El Corazon de Cuba Educational Program Curriculum Small group, multidiscipline, educational program. The objective of the program is to strengthen your knowledge to better enable you to participate in important public policy discussion on a wide range of topics that affect your life. The program provides and opportunities to comparing and contrasting the work environment, quality of life, social programs, political structure and policies, economic policy and structure, environment, and culture that you are familiar with, to those of Cuba. Day-to-day, on an ongoing basis throughout the program there will be opportunities to meet people, small group discussion with Cubans and excursions and presentations on history, architecture, culture, ethnic diversity, social systems, gender rights and roles, politics, agriculture, mining, industry, fisheries, music, language, religion, geology, botany, and ecology. The following curriculum fails to include literally hundreds of serendipitous people-to-people encounters when we purposefully visit small towns and villages to by snacks and refreshment to talk to people, and ask questions and strike up conversations. Ironically, some of the most meaningful and enlightening people-to-people contacts are the hardest, and virtually impossible, to document. Day 1: “Anatomy of the capital of the Capital: Introducing information on the history and change of Havana, and specifically Vedado ”: architecture (residential and commercial), use patterns (park boulevard, parks, residential and commercial), public institutions (schools, hospitals (8, including cardio and oncology)), religious institutions (churches, convents and two synagogue), monuments and statues (John Lennon, socialist world leaders, military, politician, intellectuals, Jose Marti) and transportation.

  • CATALOGUE of the GRASSES of CUBA by A. S. Hitchcock
    CATALOGUE OF THE GRASSES OF CUBA By A. S. Hitchcock. INTRODUCTION. The following list of Cuban grasses is based primarily upon the collections at the Estaci6n Central Agron6mica de Cuba, situated at Santiago de las Vegas, a suburb of Habana. The herbarium includes the collections made by the members of the staff, particularly Mr. C. F. Baker, formerly head of the department of botany, and also the Sauvalle Herbarium deposited by the Habana Academy of Sciences, These specimens were examined by the writer during a short stay upon the island in the spring of 1906, and were later kindly loaned by the station authorities for a more critical study at Washington. The Sauvalle Herbarium contains a fairly complete set of the grasses col- lected by Charles Wright, the most important collection thus far obtained from Cuba. In addition to the collections at the Cuba Experiment Station, the National Herbarium furnished important material for study, including collections made by A. H. Curtiss, W. Palmer and J. H. Riley, A. Taylor (from the Isle of Pines), S. M. Tracy, Brother Leon (De la Salle College, Habana), and the writer. The earlier collections of Wright were sent to Grisebach for study. These were reported upon by Grisebach in his work entitled "Cata- logus Plant arum Cubensium," published in 1866, though preliminary reports appeared earlier in the two parts of Plantae Wrightianae. * During the spring of 1907 I had the opportunity of examining the grasses in the herbarium of Grisebach in Gottingen.6 In the present article I have, with few exceptions, accounted for the grasses listed by Grisebach in his catalogue of Cuban plants, and have appended a list of these with references to the pages in the body of this article upon which the species are considered.

Capitolio Nacional (1) – Prado entre San José y Dragones. Iniciamos el recorrido en este monumental edificio ubicado en la acera del Paseo del Prado perteneciente a Centro Habana. De fachada neoclásica, fue construido entre 1926 y 1929 para acoger al Congreso de la República. Una imponente escalinata de 55 peldaños, flanqueada por dos estatuas de bronce, el Trabajo y la Virtud Tutelar, obras del italiano Angelo Zanelli, conduce al pórtico de ingreso. En el interior bajo el domo, del mismo autor, se halla La República, que en su momento fue la segunda estatua bajo techo más grande del mundo. Custodiado por La República, un diamante empotrado en el piso de mármol marca el kilómetro cero de la carretera central. No se debe dejar de conocer el majestuoso Salón de los Pasos Perdidos (50 metros de largo, 14,5 de ancho y 20 de puntal). En la acera opuesta, a escasos metros de un extremo del Capitolio, se encuentra el Parque Central (2) – calles Prado, Zulueta, Neptuno y San José, considerado como la principal “puerta de entrada” a La Habana Vieja.

  • Un Arquitecto Español Desconocido: Calixto De Loira Y Cardoso
    UN ARQUITECTO ESPAÑOL DESCONOCIDO: CALIXTO DE LOIRA Y CARDOSO. Biografía, formación académica y trayectoria profesional MARTHA ELIZABETH LAGUNA ENRIQUE Universidad de Salamanca RESUMEN. El presente artículo está dedicado al estudio de la bio- grafía y la obra del arquitecto gallego afincado en Cuba Calixto de Loira y Cardoso, titulado por la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando de Madrid en 1867, figura que ha sido insuficientemente analizada tanto en España como en Cuba. Su temprana muerte, ocurrida en La Habana a la edad de treinta y dos años, truncó su desarrollo profesional y artístico, im- pidiéndole concluir su obra cumbre, el Cementerio de Colón de La Habana. Este campo santo, declarado Monumento Nacional en 1987, constituye uno de los ejemplos más destacados del arte funerario en América y se honra con la presencia de obras de gran valor y estilos artísticos diver- sos, suscritas por arquitectos y escultores -nacionales e internacionales- de gran renombre. ABSTRACT. This article is dedicated to the study of the biography and the work of the Galician architect who resided in Cuba, Calixto de Loira y Cardoso, a graduate of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, Madrid (1867), a figure that hasn´t been sufficiently analyzed in Spain and Cuba. His early death occurred in Havana at the age of thirty two, and truncated his professional and artistic development, preventing him from concluding his greatest work, the Colon Cemetery of Havana. This graveyard, declared a national monument in 1987, constitutes one of the most distinguished examples of funeral art in the Americas, and is graced by the presence of valuable works of diverse artistic styles, signed by natio- nal and international architects and sculptors of great renown.
