El Encanto department store in Havana, Cuba.
On April 13, 1961 a dreadful fire caused by the explosion of several terrorist bombs in chain stores reduced to ashes, perhaps most emblematic of Central America: El Encanto de La Habana. It was founded in 1888 by brothers Bernard Solis and Pepe as fabric store. In 1900 the Spaniard enters another company, Entrialgo, and the company would be renamed Solis and Co. Entrialgo El Encanto.
