Castillo de la Fuerza

Built from 1562-1577, this fort is considered
the oldest stone fort in the Americas.
The famed moat still has water in it.


I'm pretty sure this sculpture
is not part of the original fort.


Freighter going through the channel of
Havana Bay, with walled fortifications
of El Morro on the hill behind it.

El Cristo de La Habana.
It stands 66 feet high.

The crest of the fort above the drawbridge.

The Cuban flag, with the El Morro's
fortress walls behind it.

The lighthouse at the entrance
to the Bay, with El Morro.

Given she had to pay ransome to get her
phone back, Carol's slightly grumpy look
 here is understandable.

The Cuban Navy ship is in the harbor now.
