An enormous marble quarry in the open air. This is how the Necropolis Cristobal Colon in Havana, appears to us, so great is the amount of marble here. Mainly from Carrara, it is highlighted by the contrast of the blue sky and the tropical vegetation of perpetual green. Such a profusion in these latitudes is surprising. In Colon many artists found a place to express their talents, among them many top-ranking foreign creators as the Spaniards Benlliure and Querol.
The architectural abundance (there are more than 50000 mausoleums, chapels, family vaults, galleries and ossuaries) the profusion of funeral statues, the richness and quality of their execution, and the diversity of styles are reasons enough to impress any visitors.
