What is now called the Old Square was originally Plaza Nueva (New Square), built as a popular alternative to Plaza de Armas, the military and government nerve center. Later called Plaza del Mercado (Market Square) as Havana's commercial hub, Plaza Vieja was the site of executions, processions, bullfights, and fiestas -- all witnessed by Havana's wealthiest citizens, who looked on from their balconies. The original Carrara marble fountain surrounded by four dolphins was demolished in the 1930s when President Gerardo Machado (1871-1939) built an underground parking lot here. Today the square's surrounding structures vary wildly in condition, though all of them are noteworthy.

"The Old Havana is one of mystery and magic, it transforms you for latter years and you cant help wish you there to experience it in its hey day. Great to wander and explore."
"The restoration of Old Havana came as such a surprise, they are doing an amazing job restoring such a great city of the past. The mix of old and restored holds a magical presence ... go and explore!"
"i was there my last evening in Havana for a late launch. Food was nice and the view to Malecon from the table on the balcony lovely. Next time i will be for the club. I am so sorry because i miss it."
