It is the second square of the city. Its origins date back to the second half of the 16th century. It owes its name to the church and convent of St. Francis of Assisi, built at the end of that same century. Situated in front of the harbor docks, the square is an important commercial center. The crews of the royal fleet would refuel here, drop off their goods and spend some time here before continuing their journey. The facades have been freshly restored.

Belle place située dans le quartier Vieja. Façades restaurées. Rien d'exceptionnel mais un bon moment de tranquillité.

Au premier abord, rien d’exceptionnel. Très bruyant, c'est pourtant un point de passage quasi obligatoire de la vieille Havane. C'est un stop du bus touristique, un point de départ de compagnies de bus intercité... Quelques beaux bâtiments bien rénovés bordent la place sauf l'ancien terminal des bus. C'est un peu au milieu de tout

Petite place de la Havane, incontournable pour diverses raisons : petites rues aux alentours avec de jolis bâtiments et des petites boutiques de souvenirs chez l'habitant (certains proposant des tarifs un peu moins élevés que d'autres dans les rues plus fréquentées...), le couvent, la poste, le bureau de change. A noter qu'en continuant le long du port on arrive rapidement au marché artisanal dans les anciens entrepôts.
