Royal Bank of Canada building, Neoclassical bank building in Old Havana, Cuba.
The Royal Bank of Canada Building stands at the intersection of Calles Aguiar and Obrapia, featuring a steel frame structure and classical columns across its facade.
Constructed in 1917 by Purdy and Henderson architects, the building operated as one of 65 Royal Bank branches in Cuba until its closure and sale to the central bank in 1960.
The ground floor contained banking operations while upper levels housed offices, with the seventh floor specifically designated for a restaurant and private club.
The building now serves as the headquarters of the Tribunal Supremo Popular, maintaining its status as a significant governmental structure in Old Havana.
The structure remained one of only two foreign banks allowed to operate under Castro's government before its eventual sale for 8.8 million US dollars.
