Castillo El Morro
For over 150 years, the Morro lighthouse has been a sure guide for maritime navigation in the area. It has also become a symbol of the city over the years- there is no tourist guide to Havana that doesn’t bear an image of it. History tells us that it was one of the main defense systems in Havana in the past; in the middle of the 16th century it had become a valuable point of observation, and beginning in 1563 a tower was built for the ships in transit.
Orchids, plants that only thrive in very special conditions.

Napoleonic Museum of Havana.
Although you may not believe it, here in the middle of the Caribbean, in a nation that had no direct contact with France, and whose roots are firmly in Spain and Africa, the memory and figure of the Great Corsican is preserved in a museum, regarded as one of the best of its kind in the world.
