Old Square
Towards the end of the 16th Century, the square was known as the Plaza Nueva (New Square), however after the construction of the Plaza Nueva del Cristo (New Square of Christ) in the 18th Century, it was then called Plaza Vieja (Old Square). The buildings that surround this open space are of unquestionable architectural and artistic importance and typify Cuban architecture of the 18th Century. After the complete refurbishment of the central fountain, the square has recovered its original splendour.Place: Ciudad de La Habana. Calle Mercaderes. Old Havana.
Tres Reyes del Morro Castle
The Castillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro is perhaps the most emblematic of all Cuban fortresses. Its construction began in 1589 and concluded in 1630. In its day it was considered a fundamental piece for defending Havana against corsairs and pirates. The lighthouse was added a few years after its construction (45 m), and is considered the unequivocal distinctive seal of Havana.Place: Ciudad de La Habana
José Martí Memorial
Located in historical Revolution Square in the center of Havana. This site offers visitors a view of the life and works of the National Hero of the Republic of Cuba.

The Occidental Miramar Hotel is one of the best of HavanaI was staying at the Occidental Miramar Hotel with my family in Spain and Cuba last week for 5 nights. The hotel is wonderful, the pool is fabulous and very clean and very spacious rooms. I must say that the waitresses of the rooms were very professional and friendly throughout our stay. In general I think the best hotel staff is very warm and friendly, always aware of the clients and their needs. In its Buffet Restaurant enjoy a wide variety of foods with excellent quality as well as its gourmet restaurant El Patio which I think is one of the best in Havana. Enjoy various musical groups that inspired evening in the Lobby Bar, which incidentally is very nice and ample space to dance with the best Cuban music. My family and I commend it to our friends and all people have the chance to read this review visit the hotel miramar west of the 5th. Avenida de Miramar 21/26 travelers found this review helpful.
