Simply the most representative building out there! Unfortunately Santiago de Cuba suffers tremendously from a hunger and poverty and if you go there you meet to have a strong stomach! The whole City is just one Big ruin… apart from the Bacardi house and this a bit posh area! The main square is a heart of the City but unfortunately there’s not much to do or to see! I hope that something gonna happen and Santiago gonna get a chance to stand up strong again! This Cathedral is beautiful and if you’re there you can’t miss this!

The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption is a historic landmark in Santiago de Cuba, dating back to the 16th century during the Spanish presence in Cuba.

a tourist from Canada, I'm not used to such a compelling look at history ... and i could wander the park adjacent for a few days each year for the rest of my life / it was that sort of an afternoon ; if you see little else on your visit (I was most impressed by the park), check out those remarkable double doors and try to imagine the sort of strife waiting on just the other side. it is a remarkable country, and there is no getting around it

This is a beautiful cathedral in the heart of old town Santiago de Cuba. From the atrium you can have a wonderful view of Parque Céspedes and its buildings.

This church had been rebuild a few couple of times. It has be destroyed by from pirates, and earthquakes. Make sure you are covered when u are attending this holy place.

They sent me and my wife away because I was wearing a shirt with no sleeves. It was terrible. Nothing to do with my religion.

Most amazing place to see while in Santiago de Cuba. Please, enter the building. The interior is where the treasure is. Entrance is free however, a small donation helps poor people and maintaining the building....I took the most amazing pics...

Lovely and filled with Cuban and European art from XVI to XX centuries. Beautifully restored after Hurricane Sandy tore the cathedral and Santiago apart in 2012.

You can climb up to the right tower of the cathedral. It's definitely worth it.

Nice place. One of most important things to visit is Santiago de Cuba
