THE PLAZA de San Francisco Asís, named after the convent next to it, used to serve as a stockyard for vital goods arriving by ships from the harbor. Residences of the Captain Generals were built around the plaza. The Square was once the most vital and busy commercial district in Havana, with locals buying and selling a variety of goods.
