One of the most notable places of interest being the Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Caba\u00f1a &#8211; or as we know it best, the La Caba\u00f1a Fortress.<\/p>\n<p>Constructed between 1763 and 1774, this mighty 18<sup>th<\/sup> century complex is situated in the enchanting capital of Havana and is crowned as the third largest in the Americas, dominating an elevated hilltop on the eastern side of the harbour entrance.<\/p>\n<p>The Fortress was initially built for extra protection purposes following the brief yet successful capture of Havana by British Forces in 1762; and despite the British giving the city back to the Spanish under new treaty terms, King Carlos III knew the capital had shown weakness and set to implement new measures sure to prevent any future attacks. Luckily for Havana, La Caba\u00f1a was so well designed that invasion was practically impossible and because of this has, in fact, had a fairly nonchalant history.<\/p>\n<p>We know that the exterior is visibly striking, but what lies within La Caba\u00f1as crumbling walls is just as fascinating. Playing an equally important role in Cuba\u2019s history was the Fortresses small self-contained village, which featured lodgings for the soldiers and officers, an execution site, and a chapel, alongside a collection of canons \u2013 all of which can still be explored (to a certain extent) with visitor entry tickets.<\/p>\n<p>Today, La Caba\u00f1a is one of the most popular attractions for visitors to the Cuban capital. Enter through the grand gates and its cobbles are now fringed by cafes, tobacco shops and a couple of small museums to browse &#8211; the Museum of Fortifications and Weapons, and the Museo de Comandancia del Che. So, history buffs will find spending half a day (or more) wandering the grounds easy. While you\u2019re here, be sure to listen out for the centuries-old tradition known as \u201cEl Ca\u00f1onazo\u201d whereby a canon is fired at 9pm every night by uniformed soldiers \u2013 this action once notified the public that the city gates had been closed. But don\u2019t worry if you\u2019ve already left the grounds by this point, as you\u2019ll be sure to still hear it!<\/p>\n<p>If your itinerary is peppered with iconic landmarks to tick off, just a little further along the bay you\u2019ll find the even older neighbouring El Morro Fortress, built between 1589 and 1630. For a century the fortification survived all European attacks that threatened it \u2013 including English, French and Dutch \u2013 until of course its capture in 1762.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1303 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-4.jpg\" alt=\"La Cabana Fortress\" width=\"1378\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-4.jpg 1378w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-4-300x111.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-4-1024x378.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-4-768x284.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-4-750x277.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-4-1140x421.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1378px) 100vw, 1378px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nLove Cuba<\/strong> is the UK\u2019s leading <strong>Cuba holiday specialist<\/strong>.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\">Click here for more info<\/a>\u00a0or call us on 0207 071 3636 or email <a href=\"mailto:enquiries@lovecuba.com\">enquiries@lovecuba.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;439&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Cuba is one of the most fascinating places to visit for history aficionados, with its fair share of neoclassical and colonial architecture, authentic Spanish fortifications, and beautifully preserved castles and fortresses.
