Produce Exchange Building, Commercial exchange building in Old Havana, Cuba

The Lonja del Comercio stands six floors tall with a square base design, featuring Renaissance architectural elements and a dome topped by a Mercury statue.

Built in 1909 as a stock exchange for agricultural products, the structure served as a central trading hub until the Cuban Revolution of 1959.

The building incorporates architectural influences from various European styles, reflecting the international commercial connections of early twentieth-century Havana.

The ground floor originally contained warehouses while upper levels housed offices for customs brokers and trading companies, maintaining this mixed-use configuration today.

The building's structural framework was engineered by American company Purdy and Henderson, introducing modern construction techniques to early 1900s Cuba.
