Same series – Cuba...
Havana the largest city in Cuba and the Caribbean region, and the ninth-largest in Latin America. The province is both the smallest and the most populous in Cuba.
Havana is located about 170 km southwest of Key West, Florida.

The 'Capitolio dome' was at 62 meters the highest point in the city and an example of the influence and wealth deriving from the USA at the time. The Lopez Serrano building built in 1932 by Ricardo Mira was the first tall building in Cuba and inspired by the Rockefeller Center in New York.

Havana is unique due to its unrivalled rhythmic arcades built largely by Spanish immigrants. Many interior patios remain similar to designs in Seville, Cadiz and Granada. Neo-classicism affected all new buildings in Havana and can be seen all over the city. The province has 2.3 million inhabitants, and the metropolitan area over 3 million, making Havana the largest city in Cuba and the Caribbean region.

Havana, founded in 1515, is one of the oldest cities founded by Europeans in the Western Hemisphere. The city was protected by walls and fortificaions as it was often attacked by pirates and other. Old Havana and its fortifications are protected by UNESCO. Havana is the center of the Cuban government, and various ministries and headquarters of businesses are based there. Much of Cuba's industrial and service economy is based in Havana.

Thanks for your kindly visit and comment...

Ovo je moj turisticki prikas, apsolutno bez ikakvih politikanskih ‘predrasuda’...

Havana je jedan ogroman grad sa divnom Spanskom arhikteturom i kasnije moderni stil, (dosta zapusten), sa mnogo kontradiktornosti u odnosu na nacin zivota i mogucnosti sveta koji je nama vise poznat. Iako zatvoren, ziveci pod teskim uslovima, ali narod dosta prijatan i sa nekom cudnom lakocom to sve podnosi.

Grad je pun turista, jer ima zaista sta i da se vidi, buran nocni zivot i dosta opasan, ali lepo regulisan od mnostva policije po ulicama i drumovima, sto ga cini jos atraktivnijim i privlacnijim za mladje, (kao ja), turiste...

Nadam se, da ce se po nekom dopasti moj prikaz i fotka i posetiti me, George

Hello George,
Good point of view, postcard quality!
This is a well balanced composition, with fine details in the architecture...
I find some recemblance in the architecture, as compared to the State Capitol buildings in the US..!
Greetings,

Zaista impozantna građevina, odlično uslikana, po svim pravilima fotografske umetnosti:) Zanimljiva nota, kao iz turističkog prospekta:)

Pozdrav, Slavica

Zdravo Stari ,
Prvo dopada mi se fotografija ,zato sto je docarala mnogo toga ,bar meni ,odlican kontrast ovog zelenila i ovog 'Capitolio dome' koji je bas onako siv kako i treba da bude...,onda ovaj narod na ulici koji je ustvari i prava slika jedne drzave ili drustva..,
Note je odlicna kao i uvek i zato jedan veliki "smesak" za tebe
pozz i uzivaj

Petar
