What to do and see in Havana, Ciudad de la Habana Province: The Best Monuments & Statues
A city trapped in time, Havana captures the imagination like no other. Faded glamour meets careful colonial-era reconstruction with a backdrop of irresistible color. Walk El Malecón, the walkway bordering the ocean; visit Old Havana and the Catedral de San Cristóbal; and listen for salsa music, open-air bazaars and parties that last all night.

A glass enclosure behind the Museo de la Revolucion shelters the Granma, the yacht that transported Castro and 81 guerrillas back to Cuba from exile in Mexico in 1956. Bought from an American, the 38-ft craft designed to carry 25 (presumably unarmed) passengers nearly foundered during the weeklong crossing. It eventually ran aground at Oriente Province in eastern Cuba, but it was two days behind schedule. The saga gets worse: Castro's forces were ambushed and only 16 survived, including Fidel, Che, Raul Castro, and Camilo Cienfuegos. The park around the yacht is filled with military curios: tanks, jeeps, the delivery truck used in the 1957 assault on the Palacio Presidencial, and a turbine from a U-2 spy plane allegedly downed during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. COST: $3 (for memorial and Museo de la Revolucion). Tues.-Sun. 10-5.

José Julián Martí Pérez was a Cuban poet, essayist, journalist, translator, professor, and publisher, who is considered a Cuban national hero. He dedicated his life to the promotion of liberty, political independence for Cuba, his death was used as a cry for Cuban independence from Spain by both the Cuban revolutionaries and those previously reluctant to start a revolt.

A good and interesting place to visit as the area has Che Guevara`s Havana home within its boundary as well as a lot of miltary hardware from the cold war period including parts of the American Spy plane shot down in the 1960`s by Fidel Castro`s Army. Also on show is a Cold War period Russian Mig Fighter as well as tanks,rockets etc etc.
