    Morro Castle
    This great landmark has a picturesque scenery and have been the
    center of attraction of some famous artwork composed by John
    Singleton Copley and Watson and the Shark. Inside the gates is an
    exhibition on the lighthouses of Cuba – El Morro once housed a
    school for lighthouse keepers. There was actually a watchtower here
    until the British blew it up during their successful siege in 1762. The
    Faro Castillo del Morro lighthouse was added in 1846. The cannons
    around the fort are now badly rusted, but the walls are well preserved. The fort has central barracks
    up to four stories high. A small underwater archeology exhibition is also located here.

    Topes de Collantes
    There are caves, rivers, falls, grottos, canyons, natural pools with
    crystal clear water, mountain hills surrounded by mariposa but my
    favourite is the waterfalls. The beautiful trees and crystal clear
    waters that shows nature’s inner beauty. Coffee growers were
    living in the area when president Fulgencio Batista ordered the
    construction of a massive battleship-like Art Deco sanatorium for
    tuberculosis patients in 1954. Cuba’s national flower announcing
    their presence with a soft unique flagrance from June to early September. Important animal
    species live here as well. They include the Cartacuba (Todus multicolor), Cuban ivory-billed
    woodpecker (Campephilus principalis bairdii), unique hummingbirds, and the tocororo (Priotelus
    temnurus), which is Cuba's national bird.

    Gran Teatro de La Habana


    The Teatro Tacón had occupied part of the site for decades. Its
    grand auditorium hosted such European artists as Enrico Caruso
    and Sarah Bernhardt. The principal venue is the García Lorca
    Auditorium, with seats for 1,500; it provides a stage for the Cuban
    National Ballet Company, as well as for other dance and musical
    performances. The theatre also presents seasons of the Centre Pro-
    Art Lírico with its performances of operas, zarzuelas, operettas and
    concerts, plus the Spanish Ballet of Havana and performances by the Centre of Promotion of the
    Dance.
