Memorial a José Martí

Center stage in Plaza de la Revolución is this monument, which at 138.5m was Havana's tallest structure until it was eclipsed by the K23 Tower in 2022. Fronted by an impressive 17m marble statue of a seated Martí in a pensive Thinker pose, the memorial houses a museum (the definitive word on Martí in Cuba) and a 129m lookout (reached via a small elevator) with fantastic city views.
