Old Cuba by Alicia E. Garcia, Julio A. Larramendi

This is one of the few books to focus on the full range of Cuban architecture, both geographically and stylistically. It is an insider's view, presented by a lauded Cuban architectural historian, made available at a time when the country is on the verge of re-opening to American tourists. The book will be of interest to historians, homeowners looking for new (and old) ideas, travelers (and armchair travelers), architects, and all those with a passion for beautiful old craftsmanship.

From Old Havana to Santiago de Cuba, Old Cuba offers an intimate look at the historic architecture--the houses, apartments, monuments, charming public spaces, centuries-old churches -- of this storied country.
