From the balcony of the town hall in Santiago de Cuba, Fidel Castro gave his first speech


On the north side of Parque Céspedes you find the town hall of
Santiago de Cuba

After it was destroyed by an earthquake, the town hall was rebuilt in the forties of the last century

The design is based on 18th century drawings of a governor palace
that was never built


From the balcony on the second floor Fidel Castro spoke for the first time to the Cuban people (January  1, 1959) to announce the fall
of the Batista regime
