The Palacio del Segundo Cabo
Ce point d’intérêt est disponible en audio dans le circuit: Visit Havana, The Tales of Habana Vieja and Habana Centro
Built between 1770 and 1791, the Palacio del Segundo Cabo is one of the finest examples of colonial architecture. Over the centuries, the palace has served many roles: originally the Royal House of Posts, later the residence of the Lieutenant Governor who gave it its name, then the seat of the Senate, and more recently, the headquarters of the Cuban Book Institute. Extensive restoration work funded by the European Union gave the palace a new life. Today, it’s home to a digital museum that explores the historic relations between Europe and Cuba. Through photographs, testimonies, biographies of key historical and humanitarian figures, and maps, more than five centuries of transatlantic connections are brought to life — All of this intrigue sits within the walls of a traditional Cuban Baroque-style building.
