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 Porthguese 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.282113123Domínguez, L., (1996) Arqueologia Colonial Cubana: Dos Temas, , La Habana: tditorial Ciências Sociales La Habana.
