Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabaña, Havana, Cuba. Known locally as La Cabaña, this is an 18th-century fortress complex, the third-largest in the Americas. It is located on top of the escarpment on the eastern side of the harbor entrance in Havana and is a commanding presence watching over the harbor entrance. The building of this fortress was begun in 1763, by the Spanish, prompted by a desire to protect Havana from invasion, especially by the British, following the return of Havana to Spanish rule in 162, in exchange for Florida. Che Guevara was based here after the 1959 revolution. The fort is part of the Old Havana World Heritage Site which was created in 1982.

Hotel Nacional, Havana, Cuba: The National Hotel of Cuba is located in the center of Havana and, in its more than 90 years of existence, it has seen several intriguing events from mobster gatherings to battles during coups. It has seen many famous celebrity visitors including Frank Sinatra, Walt Disney, Ava Gardner, Alexander Fleming, Jean-Paul Sartre and his wife Simone de Beauvoir. These and many more are recorded in photographs in the Hall of Fame in the hotel.
The hotel retains its classic Art Deco style and was last renovated in 1992. It was an interesting visit, especially given the history, but the hotel was noit as spectacular as I had expected.
