Built by natives of the Spanish region of Galicia who had found wealth in this city, the "Centro Gallego" is a complex that stands out because of its neo-baroque architectural style. One building in this complex is the Gran Teatro de La Habana, where some of the most illustrious figures in the international theater world have performed.
The Havana Planetarium has just opened its doors, and it’s an attractive cultural center for the spread of knowledge of astronomy, the new field of exobiology, mathematics and physics. The planetarium is housed in a former theater, and has four stories: first is the Hall of the Universe, the Space Theater, the Cosmic Passage and the Gallery of the Scales.
Tourists to Havana love the work of Cuban artisans as gifts for family and friends back home. Recently, artisans sold their wares near the Malecon, in Old Havana, in conditions that were far from ideal.
But now they can sell their work at the newly opened Cultural Center "Old Warehouses San Jose", where visitors can enjoy a spectacular view of the Bay of Havana.
I am not the only one who thinks that Havana without the Capitol is simply not Havana. It is the hub of our city, its memory and unity. This is not only for its architectural uniqueness, but also for the history contained within its walls. Some numbers: it covers a space of 12,000 meters, 10,839 of which are the roof.
The gardens are 26,500 square meters. The dome is the sixth tallest in the world, and the lantern inside is 94 meters high, was only surpassed by the one at St. Peter's in Rome at the time of its construction.
