Santo Ángel Restaurant (In remodeling)

In 1866, the house now occupied by this restaurant was owned by Susana Benítez de Parejo, who then decided to establish El Santo Ángel (The Holy Angel) college for poor children in this place, which since 1932 shared its space on the upper floor with St. Amelia music conservatory. Santo Ángel restaurant is situated in the Old Square magical environment, specializing in Cuban and international cuisine. With a bright and colorful interior courtyard where visitors will find natural plants and some bird and other animal species native to Cuba, the symbol of this house is the beautiful fountain at the center of the square, one of the finest monuments in town.
