Located in Plaza de la Catedral, the Havana Cathedral is one of 11 Catholic cathedrals on the island. Designed by Italian architect Francesco Borromini, the cathedral was built between 1748 and 1777. It is one of the oldest cathedrals in the Americas. The cathedral was home to the remains of Italian explorer and coloniser Christopher Columbus between 1796 and 1898, after which it was moved to the Seville Cathedral in Spain.
The building is simply stunning in every way possible. The famous façade is simply gorgeous. It has been designed and constructed in the Baroque style of architecture. The most interesting thing about it are the two towers which are of different heights but still seem to fit.
The interiors are equally lovely and the church has inspired many a great artist. The old charm of this building cannot be denied and it is a Havana essential on your trip.
