San Jose Cultural Center (old warehouses).
Tourists to Havana love the work of Cuban artisans as gifts for family and friends back home. Recently, artisans sold their wares near the Malecon, in Old Havana, in conditions that were far from ideal.
But now they can sell their work at the newly opened Cultural Center "Old Warehouses San Jose", where visitors can enjoy a spectacular view of the Bay of Havana.
Cuban Capitol
I am not the only one who thinks that Havana without the Capitol is simply not Havana. It is the hub of our city, its memory and unity. This is not only for its architectural uniqueness, but also for the history contained within its walls. Some numbers: it covers a space of 12,000 meters, 10,839 of which are the roof.
The gardens are 26,500 square meters. The dome is the sixth tallest in the world, and the lantern inside is 94 meters high, was only surpassed by the one at St. Peter's in Rome at the time of its construction.
Cannon shots ceremony, Havana, Cuba.
Beginning at the end of the 17th century, Havana residents got used to hearing two cannon shots that would become part of their daily activities: the first rang out at 4:30 in the morning, and the other at 8:00 at night. The shots served as a reminder of the opening and closing of the bay and the doors to the city walls.
Grand Stadium of Havana (Latinoamericano)
The song made famous in the stadiums of the United States is also played in the most famous of Cuban Stadiums, that of the 63 year old Estadio Latinoamericano. Formerly known as the Estadio del Cerro or the Grand Stadium of Havana, this stadium has continued to bring the best of Cuban baseball to fans.
