El Templete

Cuba / Ciudad de la Habana / Havanna /
This little Greek-style temple marks the alleged spot where the city of Havana (then called San Cristóbal) was founded in 1599. The ceiba tree growing in its yard is a replacement of one which stood here prior, and under which the first mass in Cuba was said.
