Havana, Cuba's capital, is a port city with over 2.4 million inhabitants. It is located on the northern coast of the island, on the straits of Florida. Havana is an important city that holds a strategic position in the Western Indies. It is in fact the largest city in the Caribbean.

Although Spaniards visited the island as early as 1509, it wasn't until decades later that the city's walls were built by colonists. Since the island had no gold mines or precious stones, many colonists preferred to leave the city for Mexico and South America. At that time, Havana was mainly a trade port often pillaged and destroyed by pirates and corsairs. Finally, Spain built forts around the city in order to control the territory and smuggling activities. It wasn't until 1592 that Havana became a city and then the capital (1607). From that time, it was considered to be the "Key to the New World and Rampart of the Caribbean."

During the short period when Havana was under British control (1762), Cuban society rapidly changed. Since trade was opened with the North American colonies, many African slaves were brought to the island to work on sugar cane plantations. Cuba's economy boomed during the 19th century until the wars for independence that ended in American occupation of the island. During prohibition in the United States, Cuba became a favourite destination for Americans. In 1959, the Cuban Revolution brought about new transformations, both economical and social.
