Havana: Portrait Of A City

This book traces the development of Cuba's capital from the early sixteenth century to its heyday in the late nineteenth century. It includes beautiful photographs of the well-known sites but also uncovers the hidden corners of the city.

Combining detailed research with an obvious affection for the city, Juliet Barclay has written a clear, concise and evocative history of Havana. Beautifully illustrated with Martin Charles' colour photographs and with contemporary engravings and paintings, the book is a tribute to the city of Havana.
