Fachada de la Parroquia del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús y San Ignacio de Loyola
Wandering through the streets of Havana also means to explore a wide range of architectural styles: Colonial, baroque, neo-classical, art nouveu, art deco, eclectic, modernist and even neo-gothic, which is the style of the Parroquia del Sagrado Corazon de Jesus y San Ignacio de Loyola (Parish Church of the Sacred Heart and Ignatius of Loyola), or simply the Iglesia de Reina (Church of Queen) as the Havanans call it.

It´s possible that many of the visitors circulating the Colón neighborhood don´t know that they´re going through one of the most famous districts of the many making up Havana. In colonial times, it was an outlying suburb, outside of the protecting walls surrounding Havana´s San Cristóbal.

Cuba has many populated neighborhoods, but there´s one that has something special, Pogolotti, Cuba´s first working-class neighborhood.

My father always said that the splendor and magnificence of a cemetery says more about the category and class of a city (and its inhabitants) than any known data or statistics.
