Cuban President congrats Havana on its 505th anniversary

Havana, Nov 16 (Prensa Latina) Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel on Saturday congratulated Havana on its 505th anniversary.

“Congratulations, beautiful Havana,” the head of State posted in a message on X.

“We will tirelessly work every day to heal the wounds left by the hurricane and those opened by the relentless passage of time,” Diaz-Canel added in a message with the hashtag #DePieYCombatiendo.

The anniversary of the founding of the Village of San Cristobal de La Habana (Havana), one of the first seven founded by the Spanish colonizers in Cuba, is celebrated every year on November 16.

This year’s celebrations include the Leales a La Habana (Loyal to Havana) communication campaign, which pays tribute to the city and its historian, Eusebio Leal Spengler (1942-2020).

Other activities feature the inauguration of restored buildings in the city’s Old Quarters, the launch of books, photo exhibitions, the traditional walk around the Ceiba tree at El Templete garden, an artistic gala, and other cultural events.
