Palacio de Valle, Cienfuegos, Cuba - a photo on Flickriver

            Palacio de Valle is an architectural jewel located in the Punta Gorda, in the city of Cienfuegos reminiscent of Spanish-Moorish art with influences of Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque and Mudejar arts. Place of cultural events, in addition to restaurant (specializing in seafood), museum and bar. National Heritage Memorial in Cienfuegos. 

The building is a mixture of the most varied styles, it is dominated by particular styles and architectural unity: cornices crowning the entrance to the halls and doorways, arches dominating the equilateral and acute warheads. The fine stucco walls and paintings. The pavement consists of colorful collections of mosaics, high ceilings and spacious rooms, sliding ventilation and light to its many rooms. This building has two floors, a roof terrace with pergolas and Monareta, which is reached via a metal spiral staircase and a basement where they found the servant's quarters.

In the 1950's, an investment company bought the land on which stands the palace, which was thought to turn it into a gambling casino adjacent to the Hotel Jagua, but it prevented the revolutionary triumph. Today the Palacio de Valle is one of the symbols of Cienfuegos by architectural and historical values.
