Cuban landscapes combine colonial buildings in Havana, beaches in Varadero, and tobacco fields in Valle de Viñales. The capital displays historic structures like the Capitol, Gran Teatro, and Morro fortress. The coastal regions present white sand beaches and clear waters.
The monuments in central Havana showcase Spanish colonial military, religious, and civil architecture. The 16th-century fortifications protect the port, while baroque religious buildings and neoclassical palaces line the cobbled squares. Museums, theaters, and cultural centers occupy former administrative and industrial buildings.
