travel.mapsofworld.com offers you information about Cathedral of Havana.

Cathedral of Havana is must visit place in Havana. Also known as the Cathedral de San Cristobalde la Habana, it is the seat of Jaime Lucas Ortega y Alamino, who is the Cardinal Archbishop of Havana. Cathedral of Havana houses the relics of Christopher Columbus from 1796 to 1898. But no official proof of this is present and no verification is there.

The construction of Cathedral of Havana began in 1748 by the Jesuits, but the construction was completed in 1777 by the Franciscans. The exterior of the Cathedral is impressive. The architecture has the style of Cuban baroque. There are two large bell towers along with many inlaid columns. There are asymmetrical features with one tower wider than the other. This construction was necessitated to allow the water which used to accumulate on the plaza to flow out through the streets at the colonial period, as it was built. There is a huge statue of St Christopher in the interior of the Cathedral and one can see vaulted ceilings. There was a neo-classical makeover of the interior in the 19th century, which has made it less grandiose.

Cathedral of Havana is described as "music ser in stone" by the famous Cuban writer Alejo Carpentier and is the most prominent building on the Plaza de la Catedral.
