• Resumen

  • Between the years 1511 and 1519 the first Cuban villages were founded by Diego Velázquez, among them in 1519 San Cristóbal de La Habana, year in which the first settlement was transferred to the north coast by the Puerto Carenas.

    The 16th Century was the century of the Conquest; the 17th, the century of Settlement;

    the 18th is the century we can name with justice �the century of the Colonial Baroque; the 19th was the century of splendid Colonial Neoclassicism, and the 20th Century, that was market by the Historicist Eclecticism, with two breaking trends: Art Nouveau and Art Deco.

    This work is an approach to Cuban architecture, especially in its capital City, Havana, from the 16th Century until the 1930´s. During the 1930´s crystallizes the Modern Movement, as a consequence of the develop of the Cuban identity, a process that began during the second half of the 19th century with the independence wars and continued its development until the 1930´s. We will use different texts and images, most of them part of the preservation work of the author.
