Abstract
Coloniality refers to a conjunct of long-term power patterns that emerged during colonialism in the Americas but are kept alive beyond the strict limits of the colonial administrations. These patterns are reflected in the urban-architectural evolution of the postcolonial cities in the 'Global South' when reproducing the architectural, urban and regional models promoted by the countries from the 'global North’. This fact justifies talk of the existence of the 'territorial coloniality', a concept that permits to rethink the urban history. In this sense, the article will explain how it happened in the case of Havana (Cuba) throughout its history.
