EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking view of Havana, Cuba's vibrant and historic capital city, as it looked around the turn of the 20th century. Dated circa 1895, the image offers a glimpse into the past, before the revolution and the significant changes that would come to this Caribbean island nation. The photograph was taken from across the harbor, with the sun setting behind the city, casting a warm glow over the rooftops and the narrow streets below. The image is filled with a sense of tranquility and calm, as the boats in the harbor gently bob in the water, and the city's iconic architecture stands tall against the horizon. At the center of the photograph, the Morro Castle fortress can be seen, a symbol of Havana's rich history and its strategic importance as a port city. The castle, built in the late 16th century, has stood guard over the city for centuries, protecting it from various threats and invaders. The photograph also reveals the diverse mix of architectural styles that make Havana such a unique and intriguing destination. From the grandiose mansions lining the Malecon seafront to the colorful houses in the Old Havana district, the city's architecture reflects its complex history and cultural influences. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Havana and its ability to captivate the imagination, inviting us to explore its rich history and vibrant culture.
