Havana: Cultural treasure house of the Caribbean
Season 7
Episode 709
Cuba's capital city is home to a prodigious wealth of colonial and nineteenth-century architectural masterpieces. Havana's harbor and the city's Revolutionary Square provide ideal backdrops for understanding Cuba from the late 1950s to the present, why its fabled fifties-era taxis are still running, how African roots influence the city's culture and why it is a mecca for international tourists.
