The most representative landmark in Havana's old urban area is one of the representative buildings in the whole West Indies and one of the most unique churches in the world. It was built in the middle of the eighteenth century. One of the unique features is the asymmetric Baroque architectural style, and the other is the deep-sea coral stone, which has a strong sense of vicissitudes. The church also had the remains of Columbus, the discoverer of the New World. In front of the church is a enclosed square. The buildings around the square have their own characteristics.

    The cathedral, built in Havana from 1748 and completed in 1777, is known as the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary of Havana. This is the ultimate example of Baroque architecture, clearly asymmetrical architecture and bizarre building materials such as corals from the nearby oceans making it one of the world’s most unique churches and one of the most iconic landmarks in the West Indies.

    The scale of Havana's cathedral is not very large. There is an open space at the gate called the church. The square is not a lot of people in the church. Basically, I took a photo and left. There are begging people at the entrance of the church to pay attention to the safety of the bag.

    Havana Cathedral is more than 200 years old and is one of the oldest churches in the Americas. The entire Havana church has a distinct baroque style and is very simple and elegant. The statues inside are very gorgeous and exquisite, giving people a sacred beauty. It is worth everyone to savor.

    The Cathedral Square is the most unified square in Havana’s Old Town style, and together with all the surrounding buildings, it forms a Cuban Baroque museum, which includes the charming asymmetric cathedral, the Church of San Cristobal Havana. The church dates back to the early 18th century.

    The whole church building is exquisite and neat. After so many years, it is still very beautiful. The details are unparalleled. The sculpture shows the artistic style. The morning sunshine shines on the church and the visitors stop to watch and take pictures.

    The famous Havana Cathedral! Built in 1748, it is the ultimate example of Baroque architectural aesthetics, most interesting is its strange building materials, many from the nearby sea coral, making him one of the world's most unique churches and the West Indies' most iconic landmarks. The bronze bells above were built in 1698, and the square in front is the most famous artisanal market, and the city is also the bridgehead for conquering the American continent. Havana Cathedral is in the center of the old town, so it is also a must-see for every tourist. The small crafts are great, especially many cigar boxes, exquisite and beautiful, not seen in the big shops, next to the presidential palace and the ancient city wall, if you have time, You can visit here for most of the day, and wait until the sunset at dusk, which is also her most beautiful time. See the world with fate
