EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking view of the Fortress of Havana, also known as Morro Castle, from the sea. Dating back to the late 16th century, this historic fortification stands proudly at the entrance of Havana Bay in Cuba, serving as a symbol of protection and security for the city and its inhabitants. The image, taken circa 1930, showcases the coastal beauty of Havana with the clear blue waters of the sea stretching out to the horizon. The fortress, with its imposing silhouette, dominates the landscape, its grandeur undiminished by the passage of time. The transport vessels in the foreground add a sense of movement and activity to the scene, highlighting the bustling port city that Havana once was and continues to be. The buildings along the coastline add to the vibrant character of the image, their colorful facades reflecting the unique architectural heritage of Havana. The 1930s, a period of cultural and artistic flourishing in Cuba, are evident in the image with the modern yachts and boats that can be seen in the water. The Fortress of Havana, a testament to the rich history and resilience of the Cuban people, continues to be a source of pride and inspiration for generations. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the sea was the gateway to a vibrant and thriving city.
