The Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption, also called Santiago de Cuba Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral and minor basilica in Santiago de Cuba, eastern Cuba, fronting onto Céspedes Park. Its facade bears two marble sculptures. Its origins lie in a small chapel dedicated to Saint Catherine, built in 1514, which was elevated to cathedral status in 1522. The building was destroyed in earthquakes in 1678, 1766, 1852 and 1932, and received the title of minor basilica in 1882.
