10 out of 10 - Museum-Apartment of Jose Marti, Cuba

Year: 1925.

You can visit the museum in the capital of Cuba. It is dedicated to the national hero, writer, and public figure Jose Marti. He died during the battle with Spanish troops in 1885. It is dedicated to a national hero. The museum is located in a beautiful 19th-century building. His mother and children lived in this house for a long time after the death of the poet. The entire house was purchased by the city authorities in 1901. The opening of the museum dedicated to Jose Marti took place much later, in 1925.

The building has been completely restored. You can see antique furniture, works of art, and unique historical artifacts among his cabinets today. For example, an inkwell and a fountain pen made of ivory are stored here. They were used at the signing of the Manifesto of Montecristi. A significant part of the exhibition presents the personal belongings of the national hero, including a small penknife. It was found in his pocket after his death. Another valuable artifact is an art album with wishes. Friends presented it to the writer's wedding.

The museum's collection of exhibits is so large that it occupies the entire restored building today. A local journalist named Arturo Carricarte is considered the founder of this museum. He personally began collecting items belonging to the country's national hero in the early 20th century. This journalist wrote a book about Jose Marti. Its publication was timed to coincide with the opening of the museum. Many unique exhibits are kept in the museum today. There is even a lock of the boy's hair among them. It was cut from Jose Marti at the age of four. To beginning

Top destination around Museum-Apartment of Jose Marti - Havana

Having arrived in the capital of the Republic of Cuba, tourists shouldn’t forget to try national cuisine or cochina criolla. The country’s cuisine is an interesting combination of Spanish, African, and Colombian culinary traditions. All local dishes are relatively easy to cook but they have an exquisite taste. Pizza and hotdogs are the most popular types of local fast food. Tourists do not need to worry about finding a place to eat because there are many street vendors who offer delicious snacks such as waffles and sweet buns. Rum cocktails and Hatuey beer are the most popular alcoholic drinks on the island. Many guests of the city like drinks with sugar cane juice or guarapo. Despite the ingredients, this drink is not too sweet, so it is very refreshing and is pleasant to drink.

Are you planning to swim and sunbathe? Despite the close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, there are no really good beaches in central Havana. The first quality beach, which is pleasant to stay on, is situated fifteen minutes away from the city center. Beaches in this part of Havana are referred to as “East” ones. There are almost ten beaches in this direction, and each of them has its own name. The entrance is free, and sun loungers are available for an extra fee. However, sun loungers are optional because all beaches have soft sand. Visitors can comfortably sunbathe on towels. The ocean is shallow near the coast, so the beaches are suitable for vacationers with children.
