Resumen
On July 13, 1880, the Real Audiencia de Santo Domingo, the oldest of the Spanish Supreme Courts in America, was transferred to Santa María del Puerto del Príncipe, currently Camagüey. Therefore, the city became the capital of a vast territory embracing Cuba, Puerto Rico, Florida, and Louisiana, for legal matters. The aim of this paper is to show how Camagüey�s culture was transformed by studying its architectural trace, evidenced in three buildings conserved in its Historical Center: Palacio de Justicia, Palacio Bernal and Palacio Pichardo, in the streets Cisneros, Raúl Lamar, and Avellaneda, formerly named Mayor, San Clemente and San Juan, respectively.
These Palaces were built when the city was three hundred years old. Today, after five hundred years of history, these buildings constitute an exceptional landmark of the built heritage in Camagüey, the third city of Cuba.
