The centre
of the city remains the centre of economic, political, social, religious and
cultural activities that give dynamism to the city.
It retains its iconic
architecture and the buildings representative of a cultural tradition of more
than four centuries of art and history.
A total of 1,200 historic monuments has
been inventoried and listed.
The major religious monuments, the superb
patrician town houses and whole streets lined with other dwellings combine to
create a harmonious cityscape, and reconstitute the image of a former colonial
city whose monumental aspect has been kept intact.
