The
Plaza de Armas is the most important and the oldest square in Old Havana
Personally, I think this is the liveliest square in the city and I like to sit here on a bench to watch the population
Around the square are many restaurants and bars and on weekdays the square is filled with book stalls
In the middle of the square stands the statue of former president and leader of the first war of independence Manuel de Cespedes
On the
western side of the square is the baroque “Palacio de los Capitanes Generales”
the former Presidential Palace that now houses the
Museo de la Ciudad
On the northeast side of the square is a house on the spot where in 1519 the city "La villade San Cristobal de la Habana" was founded
There is also a small fort located on the square
