Havana
City has an extension of 727,4
sq km (280,8 sq mi) and an approximate population of 2 188
828 inhabitants (1996). It ranks first among the country's
cities regarding population. Havana's street arrangement is
complex: reticular with dense narrow streets towards the oldest
sections, mostly the colonial part declared World Heritage,
and more organized with wide streets and avenues in the rest
of the city.
Havana has a three-lobular bay with four big coves and a narrow
entrance channel quite shielded by the hills of the
coasts, which are generally high above the sea level, but
have low zones like those of the mouths of rivers Luyanó
and Martín Pérez. One section is protected by
Havana's seawall (Malecón) and others serve as base
for most part of the facilities, docks, and piers of Havana's
harbor, the most important of the country and witness of more
than 50% of Cuba's imports and exports. Around this bay is
extended the capital city of the Republic of Cuba.
