Bank of Nova Scotia Building, Havana, Neoclassical bank building in Old Havana, Cuba

The Bank of Nova Scotia Building stands at the intersection of Calle O'Reilly and Calle Cuba, featuring a steel frame construction with four distinct floors.

The structure, completed in 1906, served as a branch office for the Canadian-based Bank of Nova Scotia until additional floors were added in 1914.

The building represents the strong financial connections between Canada and Cuba during the early twentieth century through its architectural and commercial heritage.

The structure has undergone renovations since 2012, currently operating under Banco Metropolitano S.A., which acquired the property in 1996.

Scotiabank remains among the few international banks allowed to maintain offices in Cuba after 1959, when most foreign banks transferred operations.
