==== Art deco ==== [[File:Edificio Bacard铆, La Habana, Cuba.jpg|thumb|left|Bacard铆 Building]] The [[Bacardi Building (Havana)|Bacardi Building]] (''Edificio Bacard铆'') is Havana landmark designed by the architects Esteban Rodr铆guez-Castells and Rafael Fern谩ndez Ruenes and completed in 1930.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/list/7-iconic-buildings-in-havana|title=7 Iconic Buildings in Havana, Cuba | Britannica|website=www.britannica.com}}</ref> It is located on the corner of Calles Monserrate and San Juan de Dios on a 1,320{{nbsp}}sq meter lot in Las Murallas, [[Old Havana]]. The building is in the [[art deco]] style that was popular internationally in the early decades of the 20th century. The Bacardi Building was designed to be the headquarters for the [[Bacardi]] Rum Company; it was nationalized by the Castro government in the early 1960s. In 2001, the building was restored by an Italian construction firm. The interior retains the original decorations in marble and granite. It is regarded as one of the finest [[Art Deco]] buildings in Latin America.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.encaribe.org/es/article/edificio-bacardi/561|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171229235847/http://encaribe.org/es/article/edificio-bacardi/561|archive-date=29 December 2017|title=Edificio Bacard铆|website=www.encaribe.org|access-date=2018-09-01}}</ref> [[File:L贸pez Serrano Building, El Vedado, Havana.jpg|thumb|left|L贸pez Serrano Building]] Designed by the architect Ricardo Mira in 1929, who in 1941 designed La Moderna Poesia bookstore on Obispo Street for the same owner, the [[L贸pez Serrano Building]] was the tallest residential building in Cuba until the construction of the [[FOCSA Building]] in 1956.
