Havana's View from the Top

A highlight of our memorable trip to Cuba was an afternoon visit to the Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabaña, a hilltop fortress with beautiful views of Havana and the ocean.

The fortress, built by the Spaniards in the eighteenth century, has served as the main venue for the Havana Biennial since it began in 1984 and is a unique and memorable setting for viewing many talented Cuban and foreign artists' work.
