Church of the Holy Guardian Angel
Church of the Holy Guardian Angel
Located on a hill in Old Havana's old town, this religious site is characterized by a modest facade accessed via a flight of steps. Visitors typically visit to see the architecture and because the church serves as the setting for a known novel.
Getting There
The church is situated within the central historic district of Havana. From the city center, it is accessible via a short taxi ride or a walk of approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your starting point within the old town.
Duration of Visit
Because of its modest size and specific focus, a brief stop of 30 to 60 minutes is generally sufficient to view the exterior and the interior.
