This Dec. 30, 2014 photo shows the capitol dome through a window during restoration work in Havana, Cuba. Fidel Castro’s rebels swept into Havana in 1959 and went to work purging the U.S. legacy from a capital that had been a virtual outpost of Washington. The new government moved Cuba’s legislature out of this near-perfect replica of the U.S. Capitol building that had loomed over Havana for 30 years, a reminder of Washington’s influence.
