Leonardo Morales y Pedroso (1887–1965) was one of the most prominent Cuban architects from early 20th century.
He graduated from Columbia University in 1909. In 1910 he formed an architectural firm, Morales & Mata, with Jose F. Mata. In 1917, he formed the firm of Morales y Cia. Partly because of his family’s many social connections and standing in the Havana society (his great-grandfather was the Marques de la Real Proclamacion) Mr. Morales was able to have notable commissions such as:
