Miramar, Havana

Miramar is a residential district (zona residencial) of the municipality of Playa, in the city of Havana.

Many embassies, including the landmark Russian Embassy, are located in Miramar - in particular on Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue) before called Avenida de las Américas (Avenue of the Americas).

Prior to the Revolution, the neighborhood was home to many of Havana's upscale residents.

This district and the Country Club (Cubanacán) were the most glamorous spaces in the Havana of the 50s.
