Abstract

The paper starts by introducing urban archaeology as a Latin American sub­ject. We then oppose Portuguese and Spanish towns as two different approaches to city life. Spanish cities were planned, in Renaissance style, as chequered blocks, while Por­tuguese ones continued in the Medieval wrinkled style. We then turn our attention to the old quarters of Havana, Cuba, and produce a brief introduction to the archaelogy of this world heritage site.
