Plaza de la Catedral is one of Havana's most picturesque squares, dominated by the stunning Havana Cathedral, a prime example of Cuban Baroque architecture. The cathedral's asymmetrical towers and intricate stonework are a photographer's dream. The square is paved with cobblestones and surrounded by well-preserved colonial buildings, including the former palace of the Count of Lombillo. Visitors can enjoy a coffee at an outdoor cafe, listen to street musicians, or step inside the cathedral to see its ornate interior.
