There are a fantastic amount of attractive statues in Havana. Some of them are emblematic and classic such as the Christ at the entrance of Havana’s bay or the statue of José Martí at the Revolution Square.
It can be very fascinating to walk through the capital looking for vivid monuments of well-known people of the past.
Some examples of them are everywhere, coming from different places and times. For example, let us mention a few but representative number of them.
Very closed to the Havanan Malecón (wall) it can be seen a statue of José Martí, Cuban National Hero, wearing his classical frock coat and holding his son in his arms.
In the Avenida del Puerto (harbor avenue) near the trade zone of the bay, closed to the Paula Church, there stands very elegantly Agustín Lara, the renown Mexican composer.
This statue was donated to Cuba by the people and the government of Veracruz in November of 2000 and makes us remember his romantic songs.
The visitor may also see statues of gods such as a marble Neptune that points out with his trident the way to Havana at the entrance of the bay.
