Cuba’s Old Havana and its five large plazas are representatives of the ‘inhabited world’ and they wholeheartedly reflect migrants’ memory of their homelands in which history can find its origin, and make its source rich with facts on origin of life.

Cuba finds its root with ‘kubja’, name of an ancient country which is also known as Kanya-kubja’. It is identical with Havana which represents Cadiz (Chedis) and Tenerife(Tiruna or Tunya).

Unesco finds a sense of historical and environmental continent with city’s most impressive landscape which is ‘one of the most notable in the American continent as a whole’.

‘Old Havana, which is defined by the extent of the former city walls, has maintained the pattern of the early urban setting with its five large plazas, each with its own architectural character: Plaza de Armas, Plaza Vieja, Plaza de San Francisco, Plaza del Cristo and Plaza de la Catedral. Around these plazas are many outstanding buildings, including the Iglesia Catedral de La Habana, Antiguo Convento de San Francisco de Asís, Palacio del Segundo Cabo and Palacio de los Capitanes Generales. …..The historic centre of Havana has maintained a remarkable unity of character resulting from the superimposition of different periods in its history’.

The names of the Plazas and its overall urban setting reflect the royal past of the migrants.

Plaza del Cristo—Kroust, the god incarnated in this name; name of a place

Plaza de la Catedral—Chaturdha means ‘four arms’ representing ‘four quarters’.
