  1. Publicaciones de la Oficina del Historiador

    The definitive word on Habana Vieja’s colonial history can be uncovered here in large, photo-friendly coffee-table books that showcase the development and restoration of Old Habana. The small store sells mainly books, postcards and back copies of the cultural magazine Opus (which prints part of its text in English).
