Our Lady of Regla

Regla was the parking point for other salves from Africa.

It was situated in Havana District just outside the walls of the city where religious diversity was tolerable and this explains why there were quite a good number of religious cults in the area. Manuel Antonio who was from Peru had attempted to built the most initial chapel there in the year 1690, it ended up successfully only to get destroyed later by a hurricane some two years later. The storm put the life of some Spanish navigator in too much risk that he swore to offer the title Our Lady of Regal on getting to the land safely.
