Cuba - Province of Havana - Havana: the Cuban Capitol El Morro (Morro Castle) from the parapet. This old fortress built by the Spaniards high on the rock point overlooking the Gulf of Mexico where the waters of Havana Harbor meet those of the Gulf long served as a mighty defense against any possible Enemy approaching the Island from the Gulf. Today it is probably still the most famous sight in the modern capitol city, but no longer is a fort. A weather station has been built on top so it still continues to save its country
