Clock of Cathedral - La Habana, Cuba - Town Clocks on Waymarking.com

This clock located in the high tower of the cathedral of Havana, is a gray dial with Roman numerals in black. The four (IIII) complies with watchmaking standards. The numbering is very unclear, and the color I doubt if it was original, or is it due to the wear and pollution of the calcareous rocks in the area. It's up and running.

The Catedral de San Cristóbal de La Habana (Cathedral of San Cristóbal in Havana), located in the Plaza de la Catedral in Old Havana, is one of the most important and impressive architectural monuments in Cuba. Designed by the Italian architect Francesco Borromini it is a building of baroque style, dominated by two uneven towers with lateral bell towers and current Tuscan facade.

Its construction began in 1748 by the Jesuits. In 1767 they were expelled from the New World, leaving their work at a standstill. Eleven years later, Bishop Felipe José de Tres-palacios y Verdeja, acquired the land projecting in his imagination the construction of the cathedral. Today, it is considered one of the most beautiful and restrained religious buildings of the American Baroque, declared a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982.
