Photo Overview
The photograph depicts the historic Columbus Cathedral located in Havana, Cuba, taken in 1930. In the foreground, several vintage automobiles are parked along the cobbled street, while a few people, possibly tourists or locals, can be seen walking around. The cathedral's baroque architecture is prominently featured, showcasing its intricate facade and twin bell towers. The scene captures a moment in time reflecting the city's vibrant past and architectural grandeur.
The Columbus Cathedral, officially known as the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary of the Immaculate Conception, is one of the oldest cathedrals in the Americas and a significant example of baroque architecture. Constructed between 1748 and 1777, it is situated in Old Havana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The cathedral is named after Christopher Columbus, and it was rumored that his remains were once kept there, although they were later moved to Seville, Spain. Havana, during the 1930s, was a bustling city known for its cultural richness and historic architecture, attracting many tourists even then.
Condition: Good to fair vintage condition. Please see photos for scans of the surface.
