Description
This is one of the few books to focus on the full range of Cuban architecture, both geographically and stylistically. It is an insider’s view, presented by a lauded Cuban architectural historian, made available at a time when the country is on the verge of re-opening to American tourists. The book will be of interest to historians, homeowners looking for new (and old) ideas, travelers (and armchair travelers), architects, and all those with a passion for beautiful old craftsmanship.
From Old Havana to Santiago de Cuba, Old Cuba offers an intimate look at the historic architecture-the houses, apartments, monuments, charming public spaces, centuries-old churches-of this storied country.
