Havana, October 3 (RHC)-- There is a very special place in the Cuban capital, which originally was called the MillFarm of the King or in Spanish La Quinta de los Molinos del Rey.
This beautiful garden is located on Salvador Allende Avenue, known for many years as Carlos III, in the area that begins on Infanta Street and borders the Stomatology School of the University of Havana, which reaches G Street, a few steps from the Prince's Castle or Castille de Prinipe.
La Quinta de los Molinos has a wide and beautiful history that began in the colonial era, and is closely related to events of those days.
At the beginning the tobacco mills, the Botanical Garden and the first Agronomic Institution were located there.
Various events in the ountry mark the history of the Quinta de los Molinos. That place is related to the wise Ramón de la Sagra, the first railway in Cuba and Captain General Miguel de Tacón.
The first of the Spanish leaders who resided in that paradisiacal place was Miguel de Tacón y Rosique, at which time the main building was transformed to perform new functions.
The entity was occupied by the General Captains Generales who ruled in Cuba during the period from 1834 to 1889, when the Spanish domination of the Island ceased.
Generalissimo Máximo Gómez Báez, the end of the colonial occupation stayed for 4 months with his family in 1899, and in that beautiful place the first National Exhibitions were also held.
