The island was conquered by Spain 1510. Habana was originally a trading port, and suffered regular attacks by buccaneers, pirates, and French corsairs.

Habana enjoys a pleasant year round tropical climate. Habana is unique due to its unrivalled rhythmic arcades built largely by Spanish immigrants.
