Walk through Havana’s historic defenses, visiting two imposing castles and a smaller tower. See how these monuments formed part of the city’s fortified waterfront and guarded its approaches. The route brings together the Castillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro, Fortaleza de San Carlos de La Cabaña, and Torreón de San Lázaro for a focused look at Havana’s military history.
