Opis

Cuba, called the largest of the Antilles, baptized as Juana, in honor of Prince Don Juan, son and heir of the Catholic kings. Discovered by Christopher Columbus in October 1492, but very well known by the true owners of this portion of land, the aborigines. The history of the archipelago, whose geographical position places it in the very center of the Caribbean Sea and makes it a strategic zone with respect to the south of the continent, did not begin with the arrival of Europeans. The symbol of Christianity was awarded to the Genoese Admiral. The cross wrapped in vine shoots, found on the eastern end of the island, augured the fate of a Hispanic evangelization, about to make its appearance on the horizons of the new enterprise of conquest and Christianization of what was called the New World.
