For those who are looking to learn about the cuban culture, the capital city is a must in their travel guide. Let's get to know 5 of the most popular places to visit:1. The Malecón: This iconic 5-mile seaside promenade along the coast is a popular spot for walking, watching the waves, and taking in Havana's ocean views. This place has tons of stories to tell. This is the way for locas who live around to go and relax after the exhusting dayli life. There are a number of important monuments along the Malecón, including those to General Máximo Gomez, Antonio Maceo, General Calixto García, and the Monument to the Victims of the USS Maine. At the intersection of 23rd Street, the Malecón marks the northeast end of the La Rampa section of 23rd Street, Vedado. 2. Old Havana: During the neocolonial era in Cuba the Havana harbor was the most important in the island and was the center of the commercial life in Cuba. The port of Havana was considered the link between Europe and South America. So forth, the Havana City quickly grew up and devceloped and this area is kown in the present times as Old Havana and is still considered the downtown of the capital city. Among the highlights of this area we can find the four most important squeares. The main plazas in Old Havana are, Plaza de Armas, Plaza Vieja, and Plaza de la Catedral and Plaza de San Francisco de Asis are lively public squares surrounded by historic buildings, restaurants, and street performers.3. El Morro Castle (Castillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro): The Castillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro (English: Castle of the Three Kings of Morro), also known as Castillo del Morro (Morro Castle), is a fortress guarding the entrance to the Havana harbor. The design is by the Italian engineer Battista Antonelli (1547–1616). Originally under the control of Spain, the fortress was captured by the British in 1762, returned to Spain under the Treaty of Paris (1763) a year later. The Morro Castle was the main defense in the Havana harbor until La Cabaña was completed in 1774. 4. National Capitol Building (Capitolio Nacional): "El Capitolio" is 207 meters long and 91 meters wide. Although its design is often compared to the United States Capitol, it is not a replica. "It is similar to that in Washington D.C, but a meter higher, a meter deeper and a meter longer, as well as much richer in detail. To finish its construction they needed more than 5000 workers, 3 years, 3 months and 20 days; as well as approximately 17 million American dollars". Completed in 1929, it was the tallest building in Havana until the 1950s. It houses the world's third largest indoor statue. 5. Revolution Square (Plaza de la Revolución): This project was conceived as part of the wave of architectural and infrastructure works carried out by the government of Fulgencio Batista. The Plaza Cívica as was originally called was built during the decade of the 1950s and was part of an old and ambitious project that sought to make the Plaza Cívica the center of the city's road circulation of four avenues that would link the cardinal points of the city starting from it. The square and the memorial were completed in 1959. It was originally called Plaza Cívica. An elevator allows access to the top of the memorial, at 109 m one of the tallest points in the city. These are just a few of the major tourist highlights in Havana. The city's mix of colonial architecture, vibrant culture, and revolutionary history make it a fascinating destination. All these places, combined with the warm joy and happines form the citizens makes Havana one of the most beautiful experiences for every visitor traveling around the island.
