ArtistDominic Serres
Yearc.1762–1770
TypeOil on canvas
LocationNational Maritime Museum, London

The Piazza at Havana is a landscape painting by the French-born British artist Dominic Serres.[1] It depicts the scene during the British occupation of Havana, Cuba following Britain's capture of the city from Spain during the Seven Years' War.[2] British troops in redcoats are shown parading in the Plaza Vieja while British sailors are in the foreground. Serres painted a series of works focusing on the taking of Havana for the Keppel family, three of whom led the British campaign.[3][4] The title uses the Italian loan word piazza, common in English during the era, rather than the Spanish plaza.

The Cathedral at Havana, a companion piece.

It is part of the collection of the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, London. It was one of a pair with The Cathedral at Havana a depiction of Havana Cathedral, both showing the city after it had fallen into British hands.[4]
