Hola comunidad de #Arquitecture es un placer para mí compartir en esta comunidad por segunda vez.

Recientemente tuve la oportunidad de visitar la iglesia de la Cathedral, es el principal y más grande templo católico de Cuba con categoría de Basílica y Catedral Primada, sede de la Arquidiócesis de Santiago de Cuba, la Primada de Cuba. Se encuentra ubicado en el Parque Céspedes en las calles Santo Tomás entre San Basilio y Heredia.

Diseñada por el arquitecto Carlos Seguera, al estilo neoclásico, donde nos muestra un diseño sin igual.

Al llegar te encuentras con una escalera de adoquines que te conduce a la entrada principal, una puerta muy amplia con arcos en la parte superior y con un lindo trabajo de rejillado entre la puerta y el arco acompañada de fuertes columnas a los lados muy bien decoradas y con un el capitél tallado en la parte superior .
Al entrar quedé deslumbrada ante tanta belleza, la vista se pierde y realmente no sabia por donde empezar.

Un conjunto de arcos y diseños angelicales a lo largo y ancho de toda la iglesia, cada arco tiene un ángel en la parte superior y separados por columnas doradas y se entrenezclan con el techo azul y blanco recreando imágenes celestiales.
Y en el medio una escalera de caracol de madera preciosa con un balcón circular decorado con imágenes de pasajes bíblicos de bronce incrustadas.

Upon arrival you find a cobblestone staircase that leads you to the main entrance, a very wide door with arches at the top and with a beautiful grill work between the door and the arch accompanied by strong columns on the sides, very well decorated.and with a carved capital at the top.
Upon entering I was dazzled by so much beauty, the view is lost and I really didn't know where to start.
A set of arches and angelic designs throughout the entire church, each arch has an angel at the top and separated by golden columns and intersect with the blue and white ceiling recreating celestial images.
And in the middle a beautiful wooden spiral staircase with a circular balcony decorated with inlaid bronze images of biblical passages.

Podemos observar una pequeña capilla donde se encuentra un retrato de San Pedro, el esposo de Maria, cargando el niño Jesús y al lado una replica de la crucifixión de Cristo, junto a la Virgen Maria, su madre y un ángel que estaba testificando su suplicio en la cruz.
También podemos observar una vitrina con Sellos que han sido utilizado por los diferentes Ovispos y sacerdotes que auspiciaron en la Iglesia,y un confesorio de madera preciosa, utilizado hasta nuestros días.

We can see a small chapel where there is a portrait of Saint Peter, Mary's husband, carrying the baby Jesus and next to it a replica of the crucifixion of Christ, along with the Virgin Mary, his mother and an angel who was witnessing his torture. on the cross.
