Originally constructed in 1526 the cathedral has been destroyed by earthquake on four occasions, the last occasion being in 1932. It is architecturally imposing with two marble statues in the front and is also quite beautiful inside.

The 'Basílica Santuario Nacional de Nuestra Señora de la Caridad del Cobre' dates from 1927 and is an important pilgrimage sife for Cuban Catholics. It is the only basilica in Cuba and when many people visit the shrine of the Virgen de Caridad, the patron saint of Cuba, they leave gifts for the Virgin. The most famous of these are the Pulitzer Prize left behind by Ernest Hemingway, and the golden guerrilla that Castro’s mother laid there. The spacious church is located in an elevated position just a little north of the city of Santiago de Cuba. There are some beautiful stained-glass windows to be seen.

If you are anywhere close to Santiago de Cuba this is a must see. It is very easy to get to and offers a great view featuring a huge statue of "the Bronze Titan" Antonio Maceo with the Sierra Maestra mountain range as a backdrop. From the plaza you can see many nationalistic signs and in my opinion, that is to be expected but it is worth recognizing because Santiago plays such an important part of Cuban history. You can walk the plaza as it is the type of venue where many people are coming/going.
