The Bacardi Building in Havana, Cuba, is an iconic example of Art Deco architecture. Completed in 1930, it was designed by the architects Esteban Rodríguez-Castells and Rafael Fernández Ruenes. The building was originally constructed as the headquarters for the Bacardi Rum Company and stands out with its striking facade adorned with colorful terracotta tiles and a distinctive bat motif, which is the emblem of Bacardi. The interior features luxurious materials such as marble and granite, and the building is topped with a pyramid-like tower that offers panoramic views of the city.
