The construction of the Castillo de la Real Fuerza begins.

The fortress rises in the space that occupied the primitive square of the town in front of the entrance channel to the Bay of Havana. In addition to being the residence of the Captains General and governors of Cuba, this castle was used to store gold, silver and other valuable merchandise that arrived in transit to Spain. As part of the historic center of Old Havana, the fortress is on the World Heritage List. It is the oldest preserved building in the capital and in Cuba today.
