Abstract

Cuban independence, taking place at the end of the XIXth Century, did not imply the end of the influence of, and the relationship with Spain. On the one hand, cultural associations related to different Iberian regions made themselves present in Cuban urban landscapes through remarkable architecture; on the other, formal influences related to Orientalism and Alhambra were present in Havana architecture.
