This is one of the most iconic place in Havana. If you come during the night it’s in completely different atmosphere. Very quiet, just one restaurant nearby with music. No tourists. Just kids playing. Highly recommend visit this place at night.

Enjoyed going to Sunday Mass it starts at 10:30 am and lasts about 1 1/2 hours. Beautiful Church.

Catedral de San Cristobal, or Havana Cathedral, is one of eleven Catholic cathedrals in Cuba. This stunning edifice is nestled in the Plaza de la Catedral on Calle Empedrado, between San Ignacio Mercaderes, Habana Vieja, and serves as the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Cristobal de la Habana. The thirty by forty-nine meter rectangular church previously housed Christopher Columbus' remains from 1796 to 1898, prior to their transfer to Seville Cathedral. The gravestone was inscribed with the words "Oh Remains and Image of Great Columbus, Be Preserved One Thousand Years in the Funerary Urn." The remains were later returned to Spain in 1898 after the Cuban War of Independence. Havana Cathedral is a magnificent Roman Catholic Cathedral of which natural coral stone were used to build. It has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The cathedral's baroque façade is instantly recognizable, with two large, asymmetrical bell towers framing the grandiose stone exterior, considered one of the most beautiful in the Americas. This 18th-century baroque cathedral is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and is one of the oldest cathedrals in America. The adjacent Plaza de la Cathedral is usually the most crowded tourist spot in Old Havana, providing an impressive and historical setting. Its façade a true marvel, especially in the afternoon when bathed in sunlight. When accessible, the interior offers a fascinating glimpse, striking a balance between sobriety and intrigue. With no admission fee and no guided tours available, visitors are free to explore at their leisure. As a historic cathedral, it proudly showcases a blend of colonial and modern art, welcoming visitors with complimentary admission and providing leg wraps for women as required, all within the picturesque setting of a colonial plaza. Our visit to the cathedral took place at noon. It was exceptionally hot, to the point where we felt like we were melting. Unfortunately, the church was closed, denying us the opportunity to admire its beautiful interior. This site is a top tourist recommendation. Visiting in the morning or evening is advised. We heard that the cathedral's nighttime view is breathtaking. If possible, visit the cathedral in the morning and at night.

La Catedral de la Virgen María de la Concepción Inmaculada de La Habana is still a servicing Roman Catholic Church with mass every Sunday at 10:30 am. Cuba features a sizable Catholic population, though the Castro era in the past did little to encourage religious attendance. It is architecturally a bella building, and it's free for tourists to wander.

Our tour guide took us to this stunning Baroque cathedral during our Havana day trip. This 17th-century cathedral is one of the most beautiful and elegant examples of architecture in Old Havana. It also holds significant historical importance, as it once housed the remains of Christopher Columbus before they were moved to Spain. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is an absolute must-visit if you're planning a trip to Havana from your resort or staying in the city itself.

The baroque façade of Catedral is instantly recognizable. Two large, asymmetrical bell towers frame the grandiose stone exterior, considered one of the most beautiful in the Americas. In contrast, the Neo-Classical interior is much more understated. It was hard not to feel underwhelmed after visiting so many ornate churches in Europe, but that didn’t mean we still didn’t appreciate the simplicity of the Cathedral’s beauty. The Cathedral was not originally called Catedral de San Cristóbal. It was renamed this in 1796, when it began housing relics of Christopher Columbus. Well, at least that’s the popular belief, but there are no official records to prove that.

La Catedral is a Must Go! This place is soo beautiful! A piece of the Old Cuba and what Cuba was in the past. Is History! Beautiful coffee places around this amazing building. In the back you can find more history: amazingly conserved old cars! Colors, beautiful and amazing cars that worth the ride! This place is just a wonderful place to visit! No doubt!
