Lonely Planet review for Monumento a Julio Antonio Mella
At the bottom of the Havana University steps is the Monumento a Julio Antonio Mella, a monument to the student leader who founded the first Cuban Communist Party in 1925. In 1929 the dictator Machado had Mella assassinated in Mexico City. More interesting than the monument itself are the black-and-white Mella portraits permanently mounted in the wall in the little park across San Lázaro.
