Religious Sites in Old Havana

Old Havana’s religious landscape features a blend of Spanish colonial architecture and diverse liturgical traditions. The area is anchored by the landmark Havana Cathedral, known for its asymmetrical Baroque facade, and the Basilica of San Francisco de Asis, which now serves as a museum and concert hall. Beyond Catholic heritage, the district contains the Russian Orthodox Our Lady of Kazan and the Greek Orthodox St. Nicholas. These sites, ranging from 17th-century convents to modern Orthodox cathedrals, showcase centuries of spiritual and architectural evolution.
