It's here. Here that it all started.
I am now in "Plaza de Armas",
one of the first squares built in Havana.
The Plaza de Armas was built in the 16th century,
when the soldiers there started
by building a castle,
the "castle of the royal power", Castillo de la real fuerza
On this square is a beautiful garden
with a statue in the center
representing Carlos Manuel de Céspedes.
Carlos Manuel de Céspedes was
the initiator of the first war of independence in 1868.
All around this square are booksellers
who are selling books, stamps
and for me it is one of the most beautiful places in Havana.
If you come here, I strongly advise you to visit the "Plaza de Armas".
Stay tuned for an upcoming video.
