The Iglesia de Jesús de Miramar is the second largest church in Cuba. It houses the Roman Catholic Archidiose of San Cristobal de la Habana. Its construction began in 1948 and it could be inaugurated in 1953. Its vast dome in Roman-Byzantine style can be seen several blocks away. Its architect was Eugenio Cosculluelo y Barreras and Guido Sutter. 

The Iglesia de Jesús de Miramar is known by its mural paintings and the pipe organ. Inside of the church is adorned with 14 big mural paintings by Cesareo Marciano Hombrados y de Onativia. They were painted by the Spanish painter from 1952 to 1959. They represent the stations of the crucifixion of Jesus. In one mural, the artist portrayed himself as one of the executioners, disrobing Jesus. In another mural, he used his wife, Sara Margarita Fernández, as the model for Virgin Mary. There are more than 266 figures represented in the murals and most of the people who paid for these murals were included in the paintings, as argued by the writer Carlos Eire, in his book Waiting for Snow in Havana.

The pipe organ that has 5.000 pipes, is the biggest in Cuba. It was brought from Spain in pieces and assembled in the church by the Spaniard Guillermo de Aizpuru Egiguren in 1956.

In the garden, there is a 1.8-meter-tall sculpture made of Carrara marble, a copy of the Virgin of Our Lady of Lourdes, France. It was designed by the architect Max Borges Jr. It was inaugurated in 1958.
