Punto Cero. El Capitolio from the Saratoga.

            The National Capitol was in last few years always under renovation and parts of it were obscured by scaffolding.  In 2019 the renovations were completed. Sitting at rooftop of hotel Saratoga, you have a perfect view on Paseo del Prado (also called Paseo de Jose Marti). The top of Saratoga is my favourite rooftop cafe in Havana and I think, I tried them all. The parliament building (Eugenio Rayneri Piedra 1926) is modelled after the Panthéon in Paris, and it strongly resembles the Washington Capitol. Punto Cero, is referring to the fact that distances in Cuba are measured from this building.

El Capitolio Nacional estuvo en los últimos años siempre en renovación y partes de él estaban oscurecidas por andamios. En 2019 se completaron las renovaciones. Sentado en la azotea del hotel Saratoga, tiene una vista perfecta del Paseo del Prado (también llamado Paseo de José Martí). La parte superior de Saratoga es mi café en la azotea favorito en La Habana y creo que los probé todos. El edificio del parlamento (Eugenio Rayneri Piedra 1926) sigue el modelo del Panteón de París y se parece mucho al Capitolio de Washington. Punto Cero, se refiere a que desde este edificio se miden las distancias en Cuba.
