The Cathedral of Havannah, 1850. Creator: Unknown
The Cathedral of Havannah, [Cuba], 1850. The exterior has no pretension to architectural beauty. The structure, of stone, is simple and massive...The great object of interest...is the tomb of Columbus...The remains of Columbus have more than once been removed, and it is questionable if they have even now found a final resting-place...Columbus...died at Valladolid [in Spain], on the 20th of May, 1506...in 1536, in compliance with his dying request, they were conveyed do Hispaniola...On the cession of Hispaniola, or St. Domingo, to the French, the Spaniards removed his remains to Havannah. On opening the vault, on the 20th of December, 1795, there were found the fragments of a leaden coffin, with some bones and a little mould, evidently the remains of a human body: these were put into a case of gilt lead, which was again enclosed in a coffin covered with black velvet'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, showcases The Cathedral of Havannah, also known as the Cathedral of San Cristobal de la Habana, located in Havana, Cuba. The exterior of the cathedral, constructed of stone, exudes a sense of simplicity and grandeur, with no apparent architectural pretensions. The primary attraction of this colonial-era building is the tomb of Christopher Columbus, a figure of immense historical significance. Columbus, the renowned explorer, died in Valladolid, Spain, on May 20, 1506. In accordance with his dying wish, his remains were transferred to Hispaniola in 1536. However, when Havana, the capital city of Cuba, was ceded to the French in the late 18th century, the Spaniards moved Columbus' remains once more to protect them. Upon opening the vault on December 20, 1795, the remains of Columbus were discovered, along with fragments of a leaden coffin and some bones. These remains were placed in a gilt-lead case and encased in a black velvet coffin. The cathedral, which serves as a significant tourist attraction and a testament to Cuba's rich history, continues to draw visitors from around the world who seek to pay their respects to the legendary explorer. This print, a relic of the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of colonialism, exploration, and the spread of Christianity in the New World.
