San Carlos and San Ambrosio Seminary is a seminary in Havana, Cuba.
Building
As a training center where prestigious Cuban intellectuals were educated before the foundation of the University of Havana, it was one of the most important buildings during the colonial period.
The front was redesigned to face the bay in 1950. The current entrance was designed following the Cathedral's baroque motifs. The old porch, the courtyard and me main stairway, one of the most splendid of colonial times, stands out among Havana’s religious architecture. At both sides of the gate stand two busts: José Agustín Caballero and Félix Varela.[1]
The center courtyard is the only one of its kind in Cuba: it has galleries on three levels, the first with simple columns, the second with double columns, and the third with plain wooden piers. It still operates as a seminary.
