  Basilika steht auf einem großen freien Platz direkt am Hafen. Auf der einen Seite frei stehend auf der anderen Seite an eine enge Gasse angrenzend. Bronzefigur und Künstler die sich als Bronzefigur verkleiden sorgen für lustige Momente. Wenn Kreuzfahrt Schiffe anlegen immer voll da der Terminal schräg gegenüber steht.

  The basilica and the monastery of San Francisco de Asis (Saint Francis of Assisi) were built in Havana, Cuba at the end of 16 c. (1580–91) as the home of the Franciscan community, and were altered in the baroque style in 1730. The church was used for their worship by the English during the year in which they ruled Havana. When it returned to Spanish rule, they chose not to use it as a church. It is now used for concerts. Attached to the Basilica is a bell tower (138-ft). Originally a statue of St. Francis of Assisi stood on the top of the bell tower but it was destroyed by a cyclone in 1846. Today a statue of Fray Junípero Serra with Juaneño Indian boy stand next to the basilica.

  El Convento de San Francisco de Asís. Construido en el siglo XVIII por frailes jesuitas, fue hasta entrado el siglo XX la edificación más alta de toda La Habana Vieja. Este mérito lo perdió cuando se erigió el hotel Sevilla en el Prado.
