Eusebio Leal leaves a great legacy in Cuba, reporter says in Panama
After Leal was appointed as Havana historian in 1967, he gradually modified that sector under several principles: safeguarding the national identity through research, promotion and development of culture, and protecting inherited heritage.
The Government House, the Palacio de los Capitanes Generales (Captain Generals Palace), the Castillo de Los Tres Reyes del Morro or the Morro Castle, in the San Carlos de la Cabaña Fortress, and the National Capitol, were among the restored works.
Despite the hard work, he dedicated time to write a book, said the journalist, who reviewed some of Leal's speeches he heard live, the first one in Panama, where he compared the Havana harbor with others on the continent and in Montecristi, Dominican Republic, where he talked about Cuban independence heroes Jose Marti and Antonio Maceo, who had being to Panama.
