Universidad Habana.........Vedado, Cuba

Sobre la colina que desde finales del siglo XIX los habaneros denominaban de “Arostegui” o “Loma de la Pirotecnia”, aludiendo sin duda, al asceta de misteriosa vida que poblaba estas soledades o al sitio donde se guardaban los fieros cañones utilizados en la guerra contra los mambises, se fue trasladando justamente a partir del 20 de mayo de 1902 que guarda para la historia la singular inauguración de la República neocolonial, el conjunto de facultades que conformaban la vieja “Universidad Real y Pontificia de San Gerónimo”, más tarde “Real y Literaria Universidad de La Habana” y ya en plena República Plattista la flamante “Universidad Nacional”.

Este centro se ubica en la colina de la calle San Lazaro y comienza con una subida de 88 escalones hasta llegar a su entrada principal.

Es parte de nuestra historia disponer de una amalgama de formas y vestigios de todos los tiempos, contamos la historia de un siglo que ya paso y que muchos no conocieron, al menos de esta forma......

On the hill from the late nineteenth century Havana termed the "Arostegui" or "Hill of Pyrotechnics", referring no doubt to the mysterious ascetic life of one person or the site where they kept guns used in the fierce war against mambises.

It was just moving from 20 May 1902 for the story that keeps the unique opening of the neocolonial republic, all the powers that made the old "Real y Pontificia Universidad de San Geronimo", later "Royal and Literary University of Havana "and in full Republic Plattist the brand new " National University. "

This center is located in the foothills of the San Lazaro Street and starts with a climb of 88 stairs to reach the main entrance.

It's part of our history and present culture to have an amalgam of forms and traces of all times, we told the story of a century already happened and that many did not know, at least the way we live today ......
