The Our Lady of Kazan Orthodox Cathedral is a Russian Orthodox cathedral located in old Havana, under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church.
The first stone of the temple was laid in November 2004 by Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk and Kaliningrad following an agreement by the Cuban authorities with the Russian Orthodox Church.
Built in the style of a composition of circular towers, the Cathedral is crowned by an imposing central golden cupola, surrounded by four smaller copper-colored domes, all in the shape of an onion bulb integrated into a Byzantine structure.
The church was consecrated October 19, 2008 in a ceremony ministered by Metropolitan Kirill Gundyaev in the presence of Head of State of Cuba, Raul Castro and hundreds of Orthodox believers, including employees of the Russian embassy in Havana and missions.
