 * The history, architecture and art of Hispanic culture have strong roots in the traditions brought by settlers from Spain. They still continue to be influenced by immigrants from Mexico and Latin America. Latino and Hispanic traditions and customs have a major presence everywhere in our city. From street names to adobe architecture to arts, dance and music. Most of the programs have featured local, national and international artists, scholars and entertainers. The NHCC provides information for visitors to learn about Hispanic culture throughout the world and is a resource not to be missed.**
