Palacio de Aldama, Neoclassical mansion in Havana, Cuba
The Palacio de Aldama spans an entire block on Amistad Street, featuring grand columns and symmetrical shapes in its main facade between Reina and Estrella Streets.
Built in 1840 by Dominican architect Manuel José Carrera, the palace faced an assault in 1869 when Spanish volunteers looted the property under false claims.
The design incorporates finely dressed ashlar stone masonry and a grand staircase made from Carrara marble, representing colonial wealth and architectural excellence.
The Instituto de Historia de Cuba now occupies this National Monument building, which received protected status in 1949 after narrowly avoiding demolition.
The construction cost approximately one million pesos in 1840, incorporating two floors and a mezzanine level in its original structure.
