| "We want this to remain a living part of the city, with homes and shops as well as the colonial forts and palaces that tourists come to see," says city historian Leal Spengler. True to that goal, a number of restored structures retain their original function. A shelter for expectant mothers built in 1859 reopened two years ago as the Donna Leonor Perez Marti Center, named for the mother of Jose Marti, the father of Cuban Independence. As part of the free national health care system, the center houses women with high-risk pregnancies. In addition to gathering in the lounge for lectures on parental health, patients often attend public concerts and plays in newly renovated grand old houses that have become cultural centers. |
