The Cathedral of Havana,[1] referred to in full as La Catedral de la Virgen María de la Concepción Inmaculada de La Habana[2] (English: Cathedral of The Virgin Mary of the Immaculate Conception), is a cathedral located in Havana, Cuba. It also serves as the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Cristobal de la Habana.[1]
The cathedral was built on the site of an earlier smaller church; construction began in 1748 and finished many years later, in 1777. Constructed in a Baroque style, it features many curves and double curves that turn into column-like pilaster structures within the façade. The obvious asymmetry and the use of Atlantic coral as construction material make it a unique house of worship.[2]
In 1722, Edward Kenway visited the site whereupon the cathedral would be built 26 years later, believing he would find there his assassination target, the Caribbean Templars' Grand Master Laureano de Torres y Ayala. Instead, he found Torres' bodyguard, El Tiburón, whom he followed to the Castillo de San Salvador de la Punta.[3]
In 2013, when a research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment relived Edward's genetic memories,[4] they saw that Abstergo had anachronistically included a simulated church model due to its status as a recognizable modern landmark.[2] While exploring the temporally-displaced monument, they found two Animus data fragments.[4]
