Overview
Located in an old convent dating back to 1734, this is a combination of both museum and church. The spacious building itself is a wonderful example of 18th century architecture, with a display that includes many old paintings, some of which come from abroad. There are a number of religious statues and artifacts, and thanks to excavations near the main entrance, visitors can now see the catacombs that lie beneath the church. There are two items in the collection deemed of prime importance: a crystal statue of Jesus given to Fidel Castro by Mother Teresa, and a set of chairs used by Mr Castro and Pope John Paul II when he visited Cuba.
