Regla
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Regla is a town in west-central Cuba along the southeastern shore of Havana Bay behind Casablanca. It is one of the 15 municipalities or boroughs into which the city of Havana is divided.
The town is a commercial and industrial suburb of Havana with shipyards, docks, refineries and foundries. It is known for its rich colonial history, being the home town of Chacón, Guaracheros de Regla and the traditional Virgen de Regla Santería celebrations. It formed during the colonial period around the hermitage of Nuestra Senora de Regla (est. 1690) and was officially founded in 1765. It was a center for smuggling activities during the 19th century.
It is the sister city of Richmond, California [1].
