☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Almost at the end, along Antonio Maceo Street, near the centuries-old Pinar del Río Courthouse, you reach the also centuries-old San Rosendo Cathedral, an architectural gem that has kept the faith in the local spirit alive since its founding. Once a poor hermitage made of palm leaves and guano, around which the first settlements began to be built, it is now an austere building where you can admire the stained-glass windows and sculptures of the enclosure. Among the most significant images inside the Cathedral are the Christ of Pinar del Río and the statue of San Rosendo. Address: Maceo Street between Isabel Rubio and Gerardo Medina. But Pinar del Río is not just that. You have to visit its people; their treasure lies in their hospitality, respect, and civility.
