This Cuban Courtyard Mural, for Monday Mural, 23 March, is an attempt by the artist to make something out of these otherwise blind walls. It is a tribute o the Cuban poet Bonifacio Byrne, after whom this street was named. Many streets have both a name and a number; most also have two names, one pré- and one post-revolution. This Calle 79 is also called Calle Contreras, though locals still refer to it as Calle Bonifacio Byrne.
Artist unknown to me.
Discovered in Havana, Cuba on July 4, 2016. Entry in Sami’s challenge March 23. For more Monday Mural entrees, click here.
Wonderful murals … the tricky perspectives of the “streets” are especially nice. I like the “girl” too.

Thank you Mae!
Beautiful. Oh, I miss Cuba. We had some wonderful times there
So do I, Iris…
Not to be seen as plugging, but here are some Cuban street scenes: https://studiotionghan.com/2020/03/23/once-we-were-windows-monday-window-23-march/
That is fantastic!! I wonder how many people try and go through those doors, as everything looks so realistic.
It must be quite confusing for streets to be known by 2 or 3 different names.
Thanks for participating Tiong.
For tourists it can be a bit tedious, the Cubans don’t seem to mind…
They are great, look like you can walk right into them
You seemingly can, beautifully done I think. The depth is amazing isn’t it?
It is, they are fantastic
I love the 3D effects that these murals have. They did a wonderful job and thanks for sharing these.
