27 Presidential Place Now Museum of the Revolution in Havana, Cuba

The former Presidential Palace houses the Museum of the Revolution. Most of the exhibits tell the history of the Cuban Revolution. “The Movement” was an organized resistance led by Fidel Castro and his brother Raúl aimed at overthrowing the dictator President Fulgencio Batista. In 1952, they began recruiting rebels and collecting arms. The clash on July 26, 1953, resulted in Castro’s arrest and a 15 year sentence. After his release a couple of years later, Castro led several guerrilla attacks – mostly with devastating results to the rebels – until the last major battles at the end of 1958. Batista fled the country on January 1, 1959. Visit this fascinating museum to learn more Cuban military and political history.
