Prado y Colón Boulevard, Boulevard and promenade in Centro Habana, Cuba.
The boulevard extends from the Malecon to Calle Máximo Gómez, featuring marble benches, bronze lions, and coral stone walls along its path.
French landscape architect Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier redesigned this first European-style boulevard of Havana in 1925, incorporating new decorative elements.
The National Ballet School of Cuba operates from this location, maintaining a connection to performing arts education and local artistic traditions.
The boulevard serves as a boundary between Centro Habana and Old Havana, making it an effective reference point for navigation through the city.
The bronze lions decorating the boulevard were crafted from metal obtained from decommissioned cannons under President Gerardo Machado's commission in 1928.

The 16th-century fortifications protect the port, while baroque religious buildings and neoclassical palaces line the cobbled squares.
