Plaza de Armas is a square which you will find in the city centre close to Havana Cathedral and the sea.

The square is surrounded by plants and is lined on all sides by marble benches.

Curiously, the numerous lamps that light the square are not powered by electricity but rather gas, just like in times long past. During the day the square is frequented by second-hand booksellers and at night by a whole host of people, many of them attracted by the surrounding restaurants and bars.
