I came by mistake. I wanted to watch the sunset. I didn’t expect to come here. There are large green lawns here, which are very beautiful. There are many military weapons displays. It turned out to be a historical park.

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Morro and Cabana Historical Park is actually composed of two castle fortresses, one is Morro Castle, which was built by the Spaniards in 1587 to resist the attack of British pirates. The lighthouse in the castle is a landmark building in Havana. The other is Kavanagh Castle. The Cuban revolutionary leader Che Guevara once used this castle as his headquarters, and still retains the city walls in the late 18th century. The famous closing ceremony of the cannon fire is held in this castle every night at 21:00.

I came by mistake. I wanted to watch the sunset. I didn’t expect to come here. There are large green lawns here, which are very beautiful. There are many military weapons displays. It turned out to be a historical park.
We arrived at Morrow Castle at 8:30. The cannon ceremony started at 8.45pm, exactly at 9pm. The ceremony symbolised the closing of the gates and the harbour at night. The fort was very clean and there were lots of shops nearby to buy souvenirs. Here you can see the beautiful night sky of the castle and the beautiful scenery of Havana.
Morro Castle is in the western district of Havana, across the sea from the old town. We specially chose to pass at night to see the closed city ceremony. The closed city ceremony is held at 9 pm every night, and each person has tickets; I don't understand why it is so late, it is all dark early; The soldiers were different in height and walking not very uniform. The ceremony included ignition, gun handover, artillery firing, etc. The lights in the castle were dim and there were many people, and the viewing effect was not very good.
Located in the old city of Havana, Cuba, majestic, tall and strong, there is a wide moat outside the city, quietly guarded, there is a very quiet waterway inside the city, Unicom this castle, in Havana all the attractions ranked very high, but also every like the Pirates of the Caribbean hardcore fans must come The land.
The place with river protection is very good. The tunnel here is very deep. You can see bullet marks on the walls of the castle. It has been looted by war. The lighthouse is an iconic building. Very prominent. There are not many people, but it is very distinctive and worth a visit.
This historical park is actually composed of Molo III Castle and Kavanagh Castle. It takes about three hours to visit the two castles together. The two castles need tickets, and they can overlook the new and old Havana city on the other side, but the two castles are still very different. If time is limited, visit Kavanagh Castle is preferred.
