This view shows Havana's cathedral, which visitors often call the Columbus Cathedral because it is traditionally associated with the explorer's remains, a claim historians still debate. Its Baroque facade faces a small stone plaza in the old colonial center, a setting the Cuban Tourist Commission promoted to travelers in the 1930s and 1940s. The commission's numbered print suggests it was made as part of a catalog of views meant to draw visitors to the island's capital.
