Its streets are adorned with vintage cars, baroque-style buildings, grand mansions, palaces, and beautiful courtyards. Stroll along the famous Malecon for breathtaking views of the Bay and the Morro Fortress, set against a backdrop of historic colonial architecture. Old Havana, designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982, is the city's oldest section, a blend of narrow cobblestone streets, elegantly restored buildings, and ancient ruins. This area blends with modern and eclectic buildings, adding a touch of dynamic cosmopolitanism. The dome of the National Capitol Building towers over the Havana skyline. Inside, you'll find a statue of La Republica, the world's largest indoor bronze statue, a vast and historic gallery, a 25-carat diamond marking the city's exact center, and the headquarters of the Cuban Natural History Museum, which houses the country's largest natural history collection.
