havana cathedral

旅遊經驗分享

位置在哈瓦那旧城区, 1748年开始兴建, 1777年正式完工, 巴洛克式朴实的建筑轮廓, 没有欧洲教堂的精雕细琢, 左右不对称的高塔建筑成为它的特色,广场有餐厅, 可以优闲的享受美食欣赏教堂建筑风景, 因为人潮不多, 觉得很宁静舒服，最重要是广场很干净。

I visited the cathedral on Christmas. The church was packed with worshipers. The ceremony of the High Catholic Mass was inspirational, even to an non-Catholic like myself. Cathedral Plaza is an interesting threshold to the cathedral with interesting shops and lots of paladars.

Actually the eroded limestone is what makes this cathedral so unique and gives it character. It was clod so we could not go in but the exteriors is quite lovely.

This magnificent cathedral is worth a visit. Behind massive wooden doors is a well designed colonial piece of architecture. One can feel the power the Catholic church must have had in Colonial times by experiencing the grandeur of this building.

Went to the sunday catholic service staring at 10:30am on a hot day... It looks like, you cannot visit it any other day. There is always something to have a church service in a very old building..

When you write about Havana, you think of the old city and the cathedral is one of the most iconic buildings in the old city. It is another piece in the puzzle.

The detail in this place is incredible. We were on a private tour so we could look at our own pace. We arrived in the morning so it wasn't busy. Very impressed.

Impressive looking cathedral with a bell tower and nice architecture. Quite small inside and easily viewable from just inside the entrance where you stand behind a rope.You can pay and walk around but there is no real need.Please be aware you cannot wear shorts,hats or short skirts inside the main area.

A little cathedral - all of the inside can be viewed from the roped off entrance if you don't wish to pay to enter. There are a few frescoes, but not the expected gold and treasures you would see in other cathedrals. Remember to cover up, as strict on inappropriate clothing if entering.

The Cubian people are very religious. The statues were great and they have some locals take you around and explain different areas. Be sure to tip them a bit as this seems to be a source of their only income.

Beautiful cathedral, well restored. Interesting architecture, look at the coral stone construction. Cathedral Square also interesting with the bears representing the various countries, very surprising finish to each bear as it represents your country.

Beautiful work and well restored. The surrounding square is really interesting. Nice site to visit as part of your walking tour.

What to say more, else than the visit of pope John Paul II remains engraved in the heart of the Habana peoples.

We were lucky enough to be there for a Sunday morning service with the Archbishop in attendance with a junior choir

This Cathedral is probably the most beautiful church in la Havana. We really enjoyed visiting it. Entrance is free.
