1955 Isabela de Sagua Cuba Church & Park Real Photo Postcard RPPC

Original 1955 real photo postcard (RPPC) showing the church and central park of Isabela de Sagua, Cuba, the historic port community associated with Sagua la Grande on Cuba's northern coast.

The photograph itself is identified:

“IGLESIA Y PARQUE – ISABELA DE SAGUA – CUBA”

This detailed period view shows the local church beside the park, surrounded by palms, residences, utility poles and the streetscape of mid-1950s Isabela de Sagua. A portion of the railway infrastructure that historically served the port community is also visible along the foreground.

The reverse is a Kodak Photo Post Card back and bears a handwritten notation including “Sagua la Grande” and “7-1955,” providing an unusually useful period date for the image.

Unlike the more frequently encountered tourist views of Havana, this photograph documents everyday architecture and the townscape of the smaller Cuban port community of Isabela de Sagua shortly before the Cuban Revolution.
