Historical, architectural ​​and environmental symbols

Excellent

We had the great fortune of having a room in the Jagua Hotel next to the wonderful palace built by a Spaniard from Asturias who lived in Cienfuegos. The structure, built in 1917 by the Spaniard Alcisclo Valle Blanco, looks like a Moroccan Kasbah or an overly ornate palace. It's Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque and Italianate influences combined with Mudejar style was in vogue in 12th and 13th century Spain. It's assumed that craftsmen involved in this work were of different nationalities and were experts in each specialty. All materials were imported, the Carrara marble, Italian alabaster, Venetian, and Grenadine ceramics, Spanish fittings and forgings, Talavera tiles and European crystals, as well as mahogany hardwood from Cuba.
