Museo de Arte Colonial. Casa de Don Luis Chacón
61 San Ignacio, La Habana
Governor's eighteenth-century mansion with a shaded courtyard and a room of colored-glass fanlights.
This guide to the Museo de Arte Colonial in Havana opens with Luis Chacon, a Cuban-born governor who in 1712 held a rank no criollo had ever held alone, and the mansion he built eight years later facing what became the Plaza de la Catedral. It walks through the courtyard strategy against Havana's sun, the carved wooden ceilings, and the fan-shaped colored-glass mediopuntos upstairs. Listen for the different owners who held the house after Chacon's own family let it go.
