500 YEARS OF HAVANA
2018
Published to mark the 500th anniversary of the founding of Havana, this book is highly informative, with fresh illustrations and prose.
Havana has stood out and shone with its own light since the moment it was founded. Its strategic location made it, in just a few decades, the best port of entry and call for ships traveling between Spain and America.
500 Years of Havana immerses us in its history from the very first page. A journey through historical events, social changes, customs, and specific or anonymous characters who have left their mark on these streets, buildings, and landscapes. Mariscal's lively lines and colors, together with Vicent's expressive narrative, are the perfect vehicle for learning about the main events that have shaped the city's development over half a millennium of history.
