Fort of San Carlos of the Cabin

We enjoyed visiting this during the day. Entrance as only a few dollars per person. We spent close to an hour exploring all the nooks and crannies. Lots of old cannons to see and a park like atmosphere.

The living architecture design and scenery was just phenomenal and grandeur in size.

Can take ferry to Casa Blanca and then walk up the hill for 20 minuses. The fort itself is gorgeous but the view from it is what one must see.

Great experience. 1600 century Fort. Totally breathtaking. Great views.

For 100 CUP you can visit this very historical site. If you're in Old Havana for a few days this is a must do. Every single night there's a show commemorating the cannons blast at 9:00 p.m. make sure you show up around sunset so you can see the city in it's most beautiful state and capture show as well.

They have gift shops bring water.
**Make sure you have a way to get there and way back. Because you can't walk back into thru the tunnels.
It shouldn't cost more than 10€ from Old Havana, I'm sure you can negotiate at round trip for 15 - 20€

Best time to visit at 8pm to have enough time before the cannon is fired at 9pm. It is a nice place to watch the sunset and view Havana also. At the end you’ll find many taxis and they’ll ask for 10usd to cross you over back to Havana.

Beautiful fort with the canon firing ceremony at 9 PM everyday. The views of sunset and of Havana from here are spectacular. It’s next to El Morro fort. There is also a bar and restaurant inside the fort along with handicraft shop. Cannot miss this if you are in Havana.

Went there for a wedding. But it's a beautiful place

This fort and procession at nine pm with the cannon shot was more than amazing. This was the last stop in our full day tour of Havana and what an experience.

There is a reenactment at least once a week where a Canon is fired off.

Awesome historical fortress!! Be sure to check out the cigar shop, which offers great deals on boxes of cigars, rum, and coffee. Also stop by the display for the longest cigar in the world... cool place!

This fortification is exquisite 👌.
It is extremely big and does take a long time to see the entirety.

Anyone’s should visit this site. Great location!

This was an amazing experience and i am so happy we did the cannon event as a family

if you spend time in Havana, the cannon event mimicking the closure of the gates is a must see

It's one USD to enter and it has a lot to offer for abuck!! They prefer Cuban pesos since it's a government run museum.

Measuring 700m from end to end and covering a whopping ten hectares, it is the largest Spanish colonial fortress in the Americas.

If you are going to Cuba, you definitely have to visit this place. Especially at night, there is a tradition every single day at 9:00 PM where one of the old cannons is fired like many years ago Spanish people used to do it.

Cool spot to view the Closing of the Gate Ceremony from. It’s very touristy, but nice.

One of the largest in the Caribbean
A must see. At 9pm thre is a cannon shot with a small show

Wow. Totally amazing experience. I went on a Monday night, and it was crowded. I was not expecting that many people to show up, but to my surprise, there were people lined up and gathered on the lower level and higher level to take pics and videos.

One of my most memorable experiences here in Havana. You get to relive the experience of how the fort, soldiers, and canons were all set in place to defend the city from pirates and coastal raiders.

Must see if you're in Havana for more than a few nights.
