Fortress of San Carlos de La Cabaña

The fortress of San Carlos de La Cabaña, Havana was built in the XVIII century to protect the vulnerable defenses of the city. All because in 1762, the British from the hill on which the building is now located, carried out the bombing of the city. At the moment, the fortress is the largest in all of America.

But it wasn’t just used for protection. The fortress also served as a military prison and the headquarters of Che Guevara in different time periods.

Thanks to the reconstruction, the historic building opened its doors to tourists. In addition to the sightseeing, you can visit various museums located on its territory.

Every day at 9 p.m. in the port of Havana, there is a performance during which actors in military uniforms recreate the firing of a cannon.

The fortress is located in the Great Military Historical Park Morro Cabaña, Havana, Cuba. Entrance to the territory is paid, but the ticket price is low.
