Monumento a Calixto Garcia

Calixto García e Iñiguez (August 4, 1839 – December 11, 1898) was a general in three Cuban uprisings, part of the Cuban War of Independence: Ten Years' War, the Little War and the War of '95, itself sometimes called the Cuban War of Independence, which bled into the Spanish-American War, ultimately resulting in Cuban independence.

Around the statue there are 24 bronze panels which tell all his battles

en los 90 habia tal pobreza en cuba que vi como una vez que el mar se metio las personas aprovecharon para arrancar los pedazos de marmol del monumento para ponerlos en sus cocinas.
