THE CANDELARIA AND MONSERRATE

THE NEIGHBORHOOD LA CANDELARIA

*  Located in the eastern sector of the Historic Center, preserves the memory of the little town that was the start of the great metropolis. Its steep, narrow streets, its houses with roofs and eaves were colonial birthplace and home of the Spanish Creole aristocracy. Currently focus on this sector with a rich museums and cultural arts. Also interesting churches, cultural settings such as Colon Theather.

 We recommend a walk through its streets, especially the street 10 between races 3 ª. and 7 the where you can see houses of great beauty. In this sector also finds numerous colonial churches and the Museums, a place not to be missed.
