The Church of Jesus de Miramar, one of the largest in Cuba, is located in the famous neighbourhood of Miramar in Havana. Apart from its impressive dimensions, the church stands out for its beautiful details, the dome and the architecture inspired by the old neo-Romanesque style. It is a must-see when passing through the area.
Construction of the church began in 1948. The director of the work was the architect Eugenio Cosculluela and Barreras, who contributed to his initial project. It would be inaugurated shortly after, in 1953, although later modifications were added such as the beautifully painted murals.
The Church of Jesus de Miramar has the largest organ in Cuba, inaugurated in 1956. It also stands out for its decorated arches, large windows, and the great altar inside, which displays an image of Jesus of Medinaceli.
