San Antonio de Padua

The church of San Antonio de Padua in Miramar (Havana) dates from 1949.  The sobre facade along the Avenida 5 is neoroman inspired.  Inside is a splendid concrete skeleton.


The architects Salvador Figueras and Eloy Norman led the project.  The church of the Franciscans has one of the best organs in Latin America and was at the time of construction provided with airconditioning.  Until the construction of the neighbouring Russian embassy, the campanile was the highest tower in Miramar.
