Plaza de la Catedral

Plaza de la Catedral (English: Cathedral Square) is one of the four main squares in Old Havana and the site of the Cathedral of Havana from which it takes its name.

[1] Originally a swamp, it was later drained and used as a naval dockyard.

Following the construction of the Cathedral in 1727, it became the site of some of the city's grandest mansions.

[2] One of the buildings on the Plaza is the Palacio del Conde Lombillo, in front of which there is a statue of the flamenco dancer Antonio Gades.
