Monumento a Antonio Maceo

Lying in the shadow of Hospital Nacional Hermanos Ameijeiras, a 24-story Soviet-era hospital built in 1980, is this bronze representation of the mulato (mixed race) general who blazed a trail across Cuba during the First War of Independence. The nearby 18th-century Torreón de San Lázaro is a watchtower that quickly fell to the British during the invasion of 1762.
