My entry for People Photography by @worldcapture, week 45

Hi there my Steemian friends and followers!

I am happy to submit yet another entry to the People Photography challenge by our one and only Chris aka @worldcapture.

This time, my entry will take you to the bustling metropolis of Havana, the capital city of Cuba. While roaming around the beautiful streets of the historic center of the city back in 2017, I happened to witness a wedding taking place on Plaza de la Cathedral.

The magnificent building on the left is the Havana Cathedral. Officially known as the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary of the Immaculate Conception, the Havana Cathedral is one of just 11 Roman Catholic cathedrals found in Cuba.

Completed in 1777, it is considered one of the most important and finest examples of the Baroque architectural style in the country.

The cathedral is made out of coral that was cut off reefs on the bottom of the sea and if you take a closer look at the walls, you can actually find fossilized marine animals there.

According to an old legend, the cathedral once used to hold remains of Christopher Columbus himself.

Thanks for hosting the People Photography challenge, @worldcapture! :)

I always like to look at old buildings like that and imagine what it must have been like many years ago :)
