Havana's Cultural Treasures

Havana's cultural landscape spans centuries of history, from the 18th-century Baroque architecture of the Havana Cathedral and the massive San Carlos de la Cabaña fortress to the neoclassical Capitolio Nacional. The city's revolutionary past is preserved at the Museum of the Revolution and the Granma Memorial. Modern cultural life is centered around the National Theatre and the Fábrica de Arte Cubano, a multidisciplinary space housed in a former cooking oil factory, alongside specialized institutions like the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes and the Ernest Hemingway House.
