Hello dear hivers and monochrome lovers. It's Monday and a new week begins, I hope it will be good for everyone.
A few days ago I was walking through several of the historical sites of Old Havana, a walk that I like so much and that I had not done for some time. I visited some of the oldest buildings of this city, in this post which is my entry to the #monomad challenge, I propose some shots of the architecture of the Castillo de la Real Fuerza, a building dating from the sixteenth century and is located in the Plaza de Armas, historic center of Old Havana.
This castle is characterized by a perfect symmetry, which is a characteristic of the Renaissance architecture of that time. The Giraldilla, a sculpture cast in bronze and one of the most representative symbols of Havana, is located in its tower. It is actually a replica since the original rests inside the castle, now a museum, and was made by the Havana sculptor Jerónimo Martín Pinzón.
In this visit I concentrated on the texture and the imposing construction of this building, in its walls and interiors.
Also details of the stairs and the contrasts of light they draw.
Any advice or comment is always very welcome, I hope to learn little by little from more experienced members of this community.
Until next time.
