A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the fortress was built after the British occupation of Havana in 1762. It tells of Havana’s maritime history: the shipwrecks, the battles, the commercial trade of the colony. It’s easy to spend all afternoon here walking around and taking in the unparalleled views of old Havana, the bay, and the port. Every night there’s a canon celebration. A town crier sings to announce the closing of the city before a nocturnal attack by pirates. At exactly 9 pm, the ceremony culminates with the simulated blast of a cannon, the sound of which rumbles across the entire city.

It is the best place to enjoy perfect views of Havana, and why not? Enjoy an outdoor cocktail. Ahhh !! and at nine o'clock at night, a very old ritual of the Spanish culture "the cannon shot".

About a 15-minute walk from El Morro in the Parque Historico Militar, the huge Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabana, also called the Castillo de San Carlos de la Cabana, sits atop La Cabana hill. At the time of its construction in the 1770s, it was the largest fort the Spanish had ever built, as well as the most costly.

El Morro-La Cabaña Historical Military Park Looming over Habana Vieja, on the north side of the harbour channel, is the rugged cliff face of the Cabaña, dominated by two great fortresses. Together the castles comprise the largest and most powerful defensive complex built by the Spanish in the Americas. To get there from Habana you need to go through the harbour tunnel (no pedestrians allowed). Castillo de Los Tres Reyes del Morro (El Morro), the handsome castle built into the rocky palisades of Punta Barlovento, crowning a rise that drops straight to the sea at the entrance to Havana’s nar- row harbour channel. 8am to 8pm daily, $3, guide $1.

Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabaña Fortress is located in a hill in the eastern side of the port of Havana. This vast fortress was erected in the 18th century, between 1763 and 1774, as way of protecting the weakest spot of the city’s defense system. Nowadays, the fortress is restored to welcome tourists and it can take as much as a whole day to visit it all! You will find plenty of bars, restaurants, souvenir stores, and the world’s largest tobacco store here too. The fortress also houses the Museo de Fortificaciones y Armas (Fortress and Weapons Museum) and the Museo de la Comandancia del Che (El Che’s Headquarters Museum). Everyday at 9pm, the cannon is fired in a ceremony where actors dressed in period costumes from the 18th century fire the cannon over Havana’s port, which was the signal, until the year 1850, of the closing of the city’s gates.
