Hola a todos los lectores de esta increíble comunidad!!!!
Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes mi experiencia durante mi visita a uno de los edificios más emblemáticos y extraordinarios de la ciudad de Cienfuegos:
El Palacio de Valle.
After a little more of 3 hours of road trip by car from Havana City, I arrived to this beautiful city located 238km from the cuban capital.
Just in front of Hotel Jagua, in Punta Gorda area, i could admire for the first time ,this architectural gem from the last century, fighting against the passing of time.
Después de un poco más de 3 horas de viaje en auto desde la ciudad de La Habana, llegué a esta hermosa ciudad ubicada a 238 kilómetros de la capital cubana.
Justo frente al Hotel Jagua, en la localidad de Punta Gorda ,pude admirar por primera vez esta joya arquitectónica del siglo pasado, luchando contra el paso del tiempo.
This eclectic masterpiece with influences such as Mudejar, Gothic-Romanesque ,Venetian and Indian styles, was finished in 1917 following the design of cuban architect Pablo Donato Carbonell and directed by the Italian architect Alfredo Colli, adding an opulent cost of one million and half cuban pesos that was very high in that epoch.
Esta obra maestra ecléctica con influencias de estilos tales como el Mudéjar, gótico-románico, veneciano e indio, fue terminada en 1917, siguiendo el diseño del arquitecto cubano Pablo Donato Carbonell y dirigida por el arquitecto italiano Alfredo Colli, sumando un costo opulento de un millón y medio de pesos cubanos que era muy alto en aquella época.
As a young photographer I couldn't help but feel amazed by so many details full of art that I discovered at every step during this visit.
The main hall is of great beauty and splendor; it is currently occupied by a restaurant.
Como joven fotógrafo no pude evitar sentirme asombrado por tantos detalles llenos de arte que fui descubriendo a cada paso durante esta visita.
El salón principal es de gran belleza y esplendor; actualmente se encuentra ocupado por un restaurante.
One of my favorite decorative elements of this magical place are, without a doubt, the two marble sphinxes at the current entrance, making me feel like I'm part of a movie about distant Egypt.
Uno de mis elementos decorativos favoritos de este mágico lugar son sin lugar a dudas , las dos esfinges de mármol en la entrada actual, me hacen sentir como parte de una película sobre el lejano Egipto.
Some interesting facts i found :
The property was abandoned in 1922 and became The Hunters Club(El Club de Cazadores) until the decade of 1950 when it was bought by an investment company with the project of turn it into a casino next to the Hotel Jagua but that plan failed because of the triumph of the Revolution.
In the following years it became an art school and nowadays is a touristic destination.
Algunos datos interesantes que encontré:
La propiedad fue abandonada en 1922 y se convirtió en El Club de Cazadores hasta la década de 1950 cuando fue comprada por una sociedad inversora con el proyecto de convertirlo en un casino al lado del Hotel Jagua, pero ese plan fracasó debido a el triunfo de la Revolución.
En los años siguientes se convirtió en una escuela de arte y en el presente es un destino turístico.
This is supposed that was the original entrance that was replaced for convenience.
Esta se supone que era la entrada original que fue sustituida por conveniencia.
