Located in Havana's very own Chinatown district, this Romanesque church was constructed in the 18th century and features a goregous bell tower and two side naves. Found at this church is a fantastic copy of the "Birth of Christ", a large-scale painting originally by Mengs but expertly recreated by skilled French painter Camilo Cuyas specifically for this place of prayer. Also present is a copy of a freso of St. John the Baptist, reproduced by another talent named Juan Bautista Vermay who gracefully borrowed the beautiful picture from Rafael, adding his own touch by incorporating the "Virgin of Guadeloupe."
In the year of 1927 the establishment was granted its present status and an altar was dedicated to none other than Cuba's Patron Saint, the Virgin of Charity of El Cobre, whose day of celebration occurs on September 8th. All together, this is one remarkable house of worship that is worth visiting for any Cuban tourist.
