Casablanca, Havana

Casablanca (Spanish pronunciation: [kasaˈβlaŋka]) is a ward (consejo popular) of the city of Havana, the capital of Cuba, belonging to the municipal borough of Regla.

In 1762, the year of the capture of Havana by the British, a suburb of this name already existed.

After 1763 navigators of cabotage and carpenters who repaired merchant ships lived there, and the carpenters established several workshops, in addition to the workshop that was created for the arsenal of the square.

A frequent ferry links Casablanca with the dock at the foot of Santa Clara street in Old Havana.
