SAN FRANCISCO DE ASIS CONVENT
Located in the historical area of the Cuban capital, this convent has been named by UNESCO as a Patrimony of Humanity. The plaza which accesses it is considered as one of the first three in Havana due to its antiquity. It is named Plaza de San Francisco de Asis because it was built by the Franciscan monks who started construction on both the convent and the plaza in 1574 and finished in 1591.
Many consider these spots as one of the most charming that the old city possesses. Among it surroundings, is the Commerce Exchange (Lonja del Comercio), the cruise ship terminal, restaurants, cafeterias, boutiques, postal office, banks, currency exchange houses and other cultural centres. As part of the charm of the well preserved construction, the building is used as a concert theatre, featuring good music from famous groups or soloists.
