– Havana, Cuba.

Embassy, Havana |
 Cuba |

Havana is a city rich in history, architecture, and
culture. Narrow cobbled streets characterize old Havana, virtually all of
which the United Nations has designated as a World Heritage site in an
effort to stave off further deterioration and destruction. El Morro Castle
dominates the harbor entrance and skyline. The city and environs are full of
stately buildings, beautiful wrought iron work, stained glass, and great
architectural detail, all evocative of Cuba’s Spanish colonial origin. |
