Miramar, Cuban Modernism & Havana's Diplomatic Quarter

Miramar (the upscale residential district west of Vedado, across the tunnel under the mouth of the Havana harbour — the district of the embassies, the luxury hotels, the finest restaurants, the Marina Hemingway, and the most opulent of the pre-Revolutionary mansions of the Cuban upper class) is the most architecturally diverse district of Havana, with examples of every architectural style from the Beaux-Arts of the 1910s to the 1950s Modernism of the pre-Revolutionary building boom.
