Paseo del Prado, Colonial promenade in Centro Habana and Old Havana, Cuba
The Paseo del Prado extends from Malecon to Fuente de la India fountain, featuring marble benches, bronze lion sculptures, and rows of trees along its path.
French landscape architect Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier transformed the boulevard in 1925, incorporating bronze lions made from decommissioned cannons and adding coral stone walls.
The promenade connects multiple architectural landmarks, including the Gran Teatro de La Habana, hotels, cinemas, and mansions influenced by Madrid, Paris, and Vienna designs.
The central location provides access to restaurants, cafes, and shops while offering convenient public transportation connections to explore different parts of Havana.
Eight bronze lions, created by French sculptor Jean Puiforcat and Cuban master caster Juan Comas Masique, guard this first paved street in Havana.
