This is a list of the preserved important buildings in Havana, capital of Cuba.

View of the Plaza de San Francisco of Havana in 1841 by James G. Sawkins.

Havana was called by the Spanish as the "Key to the New World", and due to the British invasion attempts the Spanish greatly fortified it.

The colonial coat of arms represented the first three main castles of the city and a key.

The "Old Havana and its Fortification System" is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1982.
