EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the haunting beauty of the Ermita de Nuestra de la Candelaria de la Popa, an 18th-century church in Cuba's historic city of Trinidad. Once a proud part of a Spanish military hospital, this architectural gem now stands as a testament to the destructive power of nature. Devastated by a cyclone, it bears the scars of time and weathered history. The image transports us back to an ancient civilization, evoking feelings of antiquity and wonder. As we gaze upon its crumbling walls and dilapidated structure, we can almost hear whispers from centuries past echoing through its ruins. Located on a Caribbean island that holds countless stories within its shores, this church is not just another historical site but also an archaeological treasure waiting to be explored. Its inclusion in UNESCO's World Heritage Site list further solidifies its significance. As we ponder over this photograph captured by Jai Jon Arnold, we are reminded of the profound role religion plays in shaping societies. This place of worship once provided solace and spiritual guidance to many souls seeking refuge within its sacred walls. Now standing amidst Sancti Spiritus Province's old cityscape, this church serves as a poignant reminder that even in ruinous states, buildings hold memories and tales worth preserving for generations to come.
