Lonely Planet review for Casa de Estrada Palma
In 1835, Cuba’s first postindependence president, Tomás Estrada Palma, was born here. A one-time friend of José Martí, Estrada Palma was disgraced after the Revolution for his perceived complicity with the US over the Platt Amendment. His birth house is now the seat of Uneac (Unión Nacional de Escritores y Artistas de Cuba; National Union of Cuban Writers and Artists), but you’ll find little about the famous former occupant inside.
