Plaza de la Revolucion

Plaza de la Revolucion, Havana, Cuba

Most trips to Cuba start out with a visit to the Plaza de la Revolución. I suggest having a guide with you when you visit the the city square, as it is sprinkled with many historical monuments and has a decorated past only a local Cuban could recount. While the José Marti Memorial is the tallest building in the square, the building housing the Ministry of the Interior is usually the most photographed. Pictured above, you can see Che Guevara’s face memorialized next to a quote reading “Hasta la Victoria, Siempre,” (meaning until the everlasting victory, always).
