The Heritage Classrooms is a project created by the Office of the Historian of Camagüey city (OHCC) with the aim of preserving the material and spiritual memory of the province, the study, research and promotion of our historical legacy, as well as the protection of the tangible and intangible heritage.

In them, students not only develop their knowledge of history, but also establish a link with the institution and what it treasures. The project includes special days taking into account commemorative dates, tours of the city and of the different identity constructions in order to reaffirm what has been studied in the classrooms. The subjects are taught by historians of our city and the own specialists of the Office of the Historian.
