During the first years of Cuban independence when thousands of immigrants arrived in Cuba from Spain, a new building addition was constructed around the concert hall of Teatro Tacón.[2] Originally known as the Centro Gallego de La Habana, the building is decorated with sculptures by Giuseppe Moretti, representing benevolence, education, music and theatre. ArchitectureThe Art Nouveau Centro Gallego was built around the old concert hall of the Teatro Tacón located at the corner of Calles of San Rafael and Consulado.[3] Architect Paul Belau, architect of the Presidential Palace, and the U.S. firm Purdy and Henderson, Engineers, kept the original theatre and built the Centro Gallego, an Art Nouveau style building addition that enlarged the support functions of the concert hall and introduced an elaborate system of circulation.
