Visiting the Atarés Castle (ENG/ESP)
English Version
This hexagonal fortification nestled on a hill, and built with resistant limestone blocks, is part of the former system of defense structures of the island, and has also been the seat of presidential guard, prison and military unit.
After a long time without ever having been open to the public, today it is a museum that offers the possibility to take a look at the past and the history of this impressive fortress, and to enjoy beautiful views of the Bay of Havana.
That is why I decided to visit this interesting site, about which I share with you some photographs that I hope you will enjoy. Best regards.
