Lonely Planet review for Parque Céspedes

Parque Céspedes, one of Cuba's leafiest and most hassle-free squares, is an attractive smorgasbord of grand monuments and big, shady trees. There's a bronze statue of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, hero of the First War of Independence, and a marble bust of Perucho Figueredo, with the words of the Cuban national anthem carved upon it. Marble benches and friendly Bayameses (Bayamo citizens) make this a nice place to linger. In 1868 Céspedes proclaimed Cuba's independence in front of the Ayuntamiento (city hall) on the east side of the square.
