Museo Historico Cubano Ambiente in Santiago de Cuba is also known as
"Casa de Diego Velazquez"
This building was the home of Diego Velazquez, the colonizer of Cuba
Unfortunately, the guide didn`t speak English
This beautiful building at the Parque Cespedes is distinguished from the others by its elegant loggia, which is decorated with wooden railings in
Arab-Andalusian style
The building was constructed between 1516 and 1530 and is one of the
oldest buildings in Cuba
There are still a few original features preserved as the beautiful cedar ceilings, tiling and a few sections of wall paintings
Despite the fact that we almost didn`t understand her,
she kept on talking Spanish
On the ground floor are the old colonial administrative offices to recognize by the beautiful stone arche
In the courtyard there are still remnants of an old goldsmith
The rear courtyard bordered by a neo-classical mansion of
the nineteenth century
