Iglesia de San Cristo del Buen Viaje

Camagüey


Next door to Necropolis de Camagüey and overlooking a quiet square, this church is probably the least visited of Camagüey’s ecclesial octet, but it is worth a peek if you’re visiting the cemetery. An original chapel was raised here in 1723, but the current structure is of mainly 19th-century vintage.
