Museo Histórico Naval Nacional
A little out of the way, the Museo Histórico Naval Nacional is housed in the former headquarters of the Distrito Naval del Sur (1950). It was here in September 1957 that a group of sailors and civilians staged an unsuccessful uprising against the Batista government. The revolt is the central theme of the museum.
