CU-P1

The Castillo del Morro (Morro Castle) of Santiago de Cuba is shown on this Cuban postcard. It is more formally known as Castillo de San Pedro de la Roca and it is listed in the UNESCO heritage list with the title "San Pedro de la Roca Castle, Santiago de Cuba" for its most complete and well preserved Spanish-American military architecture based on Italian and Rennaissance design principles. Thanks mauroh for the private swap and beautiful postcard.















This postcard was sent on 26.1.2009 from Ciudad Habana (Havana City). "ENE." is the short form of "Enero", which is January in Spanish. The postmark is very neat and clear. However, it is not stamped on the two animal thematic stamps, a 15 centavos owl and butterfly stamp and a 35 centavos manatee, a marine mammal. Total paid for sending this postcard is 50 centavos.
