Could this be the finest church in Cuba? If so, count your blessing so few know about it. The church’s craning bell-tower dominates the Centro Havana skyline and is topped by a huge statue of Nuestra Señora del Carmen, but the real prizes lie inside: rich Seville-style tiles, a gilded altarpiece, ornate woodcarving and swirling frescoes. Surprisingly, the church was only built in 1923 to house the Carmelite order. The building is considered ‘eclectic’.
