The National Capitol of Cuba in Havana was directed by Eugenio Rayneri Piedra, and the U.S. firm Purdy and Henderson oversaw construction for President Gerardo Machado. The infobox gives April 1926 to May 20, 1929. The text says the work took 3 years, 3 months and 20 days, which does not match those dates.
The article names no style. It says the building is often compared to the U.S. Capitol but is not a replica. It uses granite columns and steps and a stone-clad dome on a U.S.-built steel frame. It is 679 feet (207 m) long and 299 feet (91 m) wide, and the dome is about 302 feet (92 m) high.
The bronze statue's height and weight vary between sources. The original floor diamond was stolen in 1946 and returned in 1947. A dome renovation ended on August 30, 2019. It houses the National Assembly of People's Power. The article gives no hours.
