Municipal Cathedral in Cuba, Santiago de Cuba resort
Rating: 7,5/10 (100 votes)  Cathedral of the city of Santiago de Cuba. According to legend, it is here, at the base of the building, that the first governor of colonial Cuba, Diego Velazquez, is buried. The building of the Cathedral has a very interesting history. The building, which is now one of the main attractions of the city, was erected only in the 19th century, however, the history of the cathedral goes back at least four centuries. The city at that time very often suffered from fires, and the temple constantly burned down in the most mysterious way. And only in the second half of the 19th century, rebuilt, the walls of the temple survived to this day. The current appearance of the temple vaguely repeats the original building, and yet the place is very popular among tourists.
