San Francisco Square, Colonial square in Old Havana, Cuba
The plaza features white marble pavement, surrounded by restored colonial buildings and the Lonja del Comercio with its distinctive central dome.
Founded in 1628, this square served as a vital commercial hub where Spanish galleons would dock during their journeys between the Indies and Spain.
The Religious Art Museum and Rum Museum occupy the former San Francisco de Asís Convent, presenting exhibitions of Cuban heritage and traditions.
The Sierra Maestra Terminal at the square functions as a departure point for cruise ships, with numerous restaurants and cafes in the vicinity.
