The Havana Tunnel under the Ocean

The only major structure in Cuba that passes under the ocean (under Havana Bay, which opens to the ocean) is the Tunnel of Havana in Havana.

Charging a camera in Cuba is very difficult and time-consuming; my camera's battery ran out on the road, so I took this photo with a Fuji Camera, which is why it's a bit grainy.

The Havana Tunnel under the Ocean

Key features of the Havana Tunnel are: Location: Located in Havana, the capital of Cuba, at the entrance to Havana Bay. Length: 733 meters long. Depth: Passes approximately 12-14 meters below the ocean floor. Passage: Serves as a road tunnel and connects the two main sides of the city.

Smyrna Agora, known as the world's largest ancient agora in the city center

2,500 years old

There are many water channels in the infrastructure of the Agora of Smyrna and two of them are still in operation. There are also springs in the city and settlement. In the Roman period, a canal was built to transport the water flowing from the springs to the lower districts of the city or to the districts where water was scarce. Today, water still flows from the canal that reaches the Agora. The water channel reached the street fountains or cisterns, thus making it accessible to the public.

El Malecón, Havana

This is the Old Havana El Malecón beach .

This is an old photo but I like the photos I took in Cuba and vintage cars so I share them from time to time.
I took this photo with a Sony camera because my camera battery was dead so it's not very clear but I still liked it.
When I visited El Malecon beach some buildings were being demolished and rebuilt, maybe these were demolished too, I don't know ..
