San Francisco de Asis Square

The monastery was visible at the edge of St. Francis's Square, for the tall and majestic exterior was stone-faced, and the interior looked dark, and there was no closer observation, and there was a statue of a bearded figure at the door.

The oldest square in Havana! It was established in 1602 and a fountain was later renamed the square San Francisco due to the famous San Francisco monastery next to it. The square has changed little in the past few hundred years, close to the port, so historical Spanish sailing boats full of running lottery tickets will set sail from here, surrounded by the streets of rich merchants' exquisite old houses, can see the age, but still difficult to hide the low-key. Is it interesting that the church bell tower, which was more than 40 meters high, was once the tallest bell tower on the American continent, and Cubans were on duty before, looking at the whereabouts of pirates on the sea off the coast of Havana? Walking around the old town, the eyes are full of traces of history, and the air seems to always be mixed with the smell of cigars, really lingering. See the world at the edge

The monastery of San Francisco is one of the oldest churches in Havana, which has been more than 500 years old and has now become a monastery museum, with many religious relics in it, which is very precious, and the whole monastery is slightly mysterious. It is said that there are many stories happening here, is a very historical precipitation monastery, worthy of your slow taste.

The Monastery of San Francisco is located in the corner of the square of San Francisco in the old town of Havana, Cuba. It is the highest-valued old building in the square, built in the sixteenth century and said to have been completed in two hundred years. It is the most important religious site in Cuba. Visits are currently available for two pesos per person. The first floor of the annex building has opened several rooms and displays some Cuban classic furniture and religious relics for visit. The tower is available for visitors to climb, and you can see the beautiful scenery of the city and Havana Bay from the top floor. It is especially recommended and cannot be missed. Because of the lack of repairs, the wooden stairs upstairs are a bit dangerous and need to be paid attention to.

Another of my “1001 Buildings, You Have to See You Before You Die” in San Francisco is a joy. It has an unusual undulating roof with a clever mural behind the altar giving the illusion of space. We climbed to the top of the tower to enjoy the magnificent views of Havana’s Old Town and the harbor. It's worth the $2.

The Church and Monastery of San Francisco, which has been around for more than 500 years, is one of the oldest monasteries in the Caribbean. Now here is the monastery museum, every brick on the monastery building reveals its history, the six-story bell tower, is the high point of the entire old Havana city, standing on it can overlook the entire old Havana city, it feels very good.
