It's the highest point of Havana City. You can going up using an elevator and see an outstanding 360 degrees view of the city.
At bottom there is a permanent exposition about how this monument was built. Golden columns hold ceiling of this area. Wall are decorated with Jose Martí text.
Arriving in one of Cuba's retro cabs is a perfect way to roll into this plaza. Come as part of a tour, or on your own and enjoy the huge square, monument, and tribute to some key Cuban revolutionary figures.
Very interesting and historical. A great place to find a lovely vintage American car and a knowledgeable driver to give you a nice tour. We paid $40 for 4 to ride in a 1955 Ford Fairlane convertible for an hour tour! It would have been worth it at twice that price, The owner even let us take a photo behind the wheel. Havana is a wonderful city with such warm people
This was an outstanding cultural experience. Visiting Havana, Cuba is definitely one of the highlights of this year. The city and its people were different than I thought they would be. They were friendly, helpful and very open. Go if you can.
Amazing history that you can feel. The old and new balanced and contrasted so well here. Find many a old taxi ride from here. The 6 sides of the best view if havana used to face the 6 provinces. Now there are many more. A must see. Step into Cuba's history in this square
Historic center of Havana. Great place to start your tour in Havana.
Amazing. Walked through the barrios of Havana to arrive in the plaza as dawn broke. Cuba is amazing. Rich in history and culture. Viva la Cuba.
Very interesting site. When we were there, there was an exhibition of the 1950's cars that,are so common in Havana. They were amazingly maintained, although some had replaced the original engine with a new(er) one. Great photos and met done nice car enthusiasts.
The famous square with the portraits of Che and another revolutionary on the side of the buildings. Now it's a great spot to see the restored old cars, which are all taxis now.
Beautiful space to memorialize the revolution. The surrounding buildings are white and have very large likenesses of Cuban heroes, Jose Marti, Che Guevara and of course Fidel Castro. There is a tower like structure meant to remind the people to build on their success. Lots of operable antique vehicles that will take you wherever!
Just a couple of the buildings with the picture of two revolutionaries on them. Not much else. But important to the people of Cuba.
You see this as you approach the city from the airport. OOh ahhh! get pictures. Well, once in Havana, you might find, as I did, that this plaza (PARKING LOT) is a fairly common land mark for coming and going and you will have loads of chances to take better pictures. Seeing the images so very big is a real eye opening of: I am in Cuba.
Nice for the photos. A guide might be able to explain more. Otherwise not much to do there. Spent 10 minutes there as part of an old car Havana tour (25 cuc for 1 hour in a nice chevy).
If you're familiar with some of the history in Cuba, you'll know that this square is very important. It's a must see when traveling in Havana. If you don't want to go alone, go with a tour that stops here and a few other historic locations, and hear the history of it from a Cuban citizen. Definitely worth seeing!!
Understanding the history and events that took place here makes this a "must see" site. Plus classic cars are parked nearby for taxi and/or photos.
On it's own, not that interesting. With a tour guide you will hear the history which makes it more interesting or do some research before you visit so you know what this plaza represents to the people of Cuba. There are three main buildings. One has an image of Che Guevara, another with Camilo Cienfuegos, and the towering column memorial is in honor of Jose Marti.
The Revolution Plaza is a historic site in Havana. The daily bus tour to Havana usually stops here, great place to learn more about the history in Havana.
Revolution square is monumental and it is interesting to consider historical events which happened there. On the day we visited, only two busloads of people were wandering about the plaza which really emphasized the size. Government buildings bordering the square have interesting art works showing past leaders.
Interesting historical spot, but needs more displays to let people understand what happened here.
Amazing place with amazing history for one of the greatest elected leaders of all times! His excellency Fidel Castro held great, intellectually robust discourses and the people would flock by the millions (all by their own free will of course) to hear this amazing genius speak eloquent poetry that would just melt your eardrums! All hail this great fallen leader!
A big square commemorating the revolutionaries - one of the must see places in Havana!
A big square of tarmac, but the history makes it worthy of a visit. You can also grab one of the 'classic' cabs from here
Big empty like a abandoned parking lot. Most exiting are the old cars. on the side. Aperantly one must have been there iff you visit Cuba
