The Catholic University of Murcia has received in the morning the conference 'Domestic Architecture in Havana, XVII-XVIII centuries', in which Rosalie Oliva, specialist in management and conservation of heritage and historian of Archeology of the Office of City Historian of Havana, highlighted "the architectural richness" that counts the capital of Cuba since the sixteenth century arrival of the first Spanish settlers.
The paper is part of the doctoral thesis being carried out on this subject in Havana, intermingling notes on history, architecture and society.
Rosalia highlights, however, the difficulty that has to deal given the lack of "official documents of the seventeenth century."
The talk, which has organized the Vice Chancellor for University Extension UCAM, Antonio Alcaraz;
has come a selected group of teachers and researchers in Humanities, Architecture and Education, among others.
