Camaguey - Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Soledad

At the corner of Republica and Agramonte stands the large brick Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Soledad. Built in 1776 this Cuban baroque church witnessed both the baptism and wedding of local hero Ignacio Agramonte. It is the oldest church in the town of Camaguey. Although this may not be the most impressive church in Camaguey, it does have some unique features. Some of the most noteworthy aspects of Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Soledad are the painted friezes on the arches and pillars. It also boasts a beautiful carved wooden ceiling, although access to the interior of the church is difficult, with sporadic hours.
