Our winners today🥇 Angerona, una historia en el silencio. - Angerona: A Story Woven in Silence [Esp - Eng] by @jcalvoparapar
These ruins, once part of one of the most prosperous coffee plantations in western Cuba and the second largest on the island, hold a kind of mysticism where the goddess herself seems to conspire with the two central figures of the story: Cornelius Souchay and Ursula Lambert.

🥈 Architectural Masterpiece Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque by @hindavi
The mosque is made of different kinds of stone, but mainly uses sandstone and polished marble from India, imported around 300,000 tons. The doors, windows, and all decorative interior elements were made of glass and wood, precious stones, and metal like gold.
The total capacity of the mosque is up to 20,000 worshipers. That includes 750 in the women's prayer hall. 6,500 in the men's prayer hall, and the pavilion of the garden carries 8,000.

🥉 A Sentinel of Havana [EN/ES] by @jordy0827
This Castle had as its objective, together with the fortifications of El Morro and La Cabaña, to protect the nascent city. Situated right at the entrance of the port, it offered a privileged view of any vessel that tried to approach the coasts. After the fierce attack on Havana by the feared pirate Jacques de Sores, it was decided to reinforce the defensive system of the town, and it became necessary to fortify the city to increase the security of its inhabitants.
