A visit to a bigger city such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/destinations\/havana-holidays\"><strong>Havana<\/strong><\/a>, Santiago, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/destinations\/cienfuegos-holidays\"><strong>Cienfuegos<\/strong><\/a>, and many others, should include a tour around the most famous architectural and historic districts.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Cuba\u2019s Architecture in a Nutshell<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Architecture in Cuba has mostly been influenced by the Spanish, who came here at the beginning of the 16th century. Cuba was ruled by Spain for the next four centuries, which resulted in a period of colonial architecture. This was followed by the neoclassical and baroque styles that came in during the 18th century and then by the Art Deco period of the early 20th century.<\/p>\n<p>Given Cuba\u2019s prosperity at the beginning of the 20th century, funding for architectural projects increased, while political changes led to numerous public architectural masterpieces. The best colonial architecture can be seen in the Old Havana district or the town of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/destinations\/trinidad-holidays\"><strong>Trinidad<\/strong><\/a>. The typical Cuban Baroque is featured in the Cathedral of Havana design, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/destinations\/cienfuegos-holidays\"><strong>Cienfuegos<\/strong><\/a> is full of neoclassical buildings.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Cuba\u2019s Colonial Architecture<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Some of the best-known theatres, mansions, and castles in Cuba are declared world heritage sites by UNESCO and happen to be colonial in style. Spanish rule brought about buildings similar to those in Seville or Granada, while there are examples of prominent military architecture such as the Havana fortress or Castillo de San Salvador de la Punta.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Old Havana<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1831 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Picture1.jpg\" alt=\"Cuba\u2019s Incredible Architecture\" width=\"1272\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Picture1.jpg 1272w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Picture1-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Picture1-1024x452.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Picture1-768x339.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Picture1-750x331.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Picture1-1140x503.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1272px) 100vw, 1272px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/destinations\/havana-holidays\"><strong>Havana<\/strong><\/a> was originally founded by a Spanish conquistador in the 16th century.
