San Severino Castle Museum Slave Route

This place is incredible. It is extremely inexpensive and for just a few dollars, you can have a guided tour from an English-speaking guide. It's fascinated to hear how this defensive fort was turned into a prison and see the conditions that the prisoners lived in. My first photo with the holes in the wall is from where they performed executions by firing squad! So shocking.

One of my favourite places in Cuba. If you have been here before you need to return as they have changed so many things. The guided tour is different and they have added hundreds of english and spanish signs. Now it is a real museum and this place finally got the respect it deserves. Come check it out this place will blow your mind! Great photo opp! Even if you don't like history come anyways... you won't regret it.

Great place to go, interesting fort and cool history about slavery in the area. Cheap entry, really worth it. Even enough good english translations, to cuban standards awesome place!

I am from Matanzas, and I remember when Fidel started the rehab. I and my paisanos were more than grateful for this service.
Cubanos like myself have always supported El Commandante from way back in the 60's when he signed bills for socialized medicine and socialized education. Its funny that before Fidel, there was nothing but the mafia.
This is a museum for the African descendants who were ripped from our continent ,(Africa) by the Portuguese and brought to Cuba and enslaved

This is not about the war that put Fidel in power. This is about our history as Afro Cubans and how we got to Cuba and Fidels recognition of our struggle.
For those who want to get info on the 1959 war and other issues go to the net.

All the stuff I learned in a short trip, cuz unfortunately the guide had to leave, but very interesting and educational 👍

Excellent tour and our guide was amazing!

The Cuban Art display is Awesome!

Great historical site!

Interesting place!

Good

a place to be seen

Magnífica experiencia nuestra visita al castillo de San Severino y museo de la ruta del esclavo. Nuestras espectativas fueron sobrepasadas por la espléndida atención de su colectivo de trabajadores, especialmente su directora y especialista principal que transmitió de forma muy amena sus bastos conocimientos y nos guío por todo éste muyyy bien conservado lugar. Sin duda merecen un gran reconocimiento y apoyo en tan importante labor.
Será visita a repetir en próximas ocasiones y recomendación obligada a todos los que quieran conocer un lugar orgullo de matanzas y de Cuba.

Une agréable visite, beaucoup d'histoire sur ce lieu. La visite est correct, dommage que il manque plus à voir. Plutôt rapide pour la visite.

Die Verteidigungsanlage aus dem 17.Jh. Es ist wahrscheinlich das älteste Bauwerk der Stadt. Die Anlage wurde zum Schutz vor Piratenangriffen gebaut. Sie war auch später als Gefängnis genutzt.
Nach der Renovierungsarbeiten ist es jetzt für Touristen zugänglich.
Das Personal ist aber nicht wirklich engagiert. Obwohl es nichts los war, mussten wir halbe Stunde warten, bis ein Reiseleiter da war... der konnte aber auch nur dürftig Deutsch. Und auch kein Englisch.

Sehenswerte Wehranlage die ein Museum zum Thema Sklaven und die verschiedenen Glaubensrichtungen der verschleppten Menschen beinhaltet.

Museo Ruta de la Esclavitud. Único testimonio de la fundación de San Carlos y San Severino de Matanzas en 1693

Un lugar de visita obligada debido a su importancia historica para la ciudad de Matanzas, cuenta con excelente lugares para recorrer y una muy bella vista de la bahía de la ciudad.

Es muy interesante saber que se puede visitar un pedaso de historia😀

В хойке за сша, всегда стараюсь захватить кубу, хром лишний не бывает.

Un lugar muy bien conservado, con mucha historia
