The square is dominated by the José Martí Memorial, a 109 m high tower and a 18 m high statue
Behind the monument are the well-preserved offices of former President Fidel Castro
The construction of the square and the José Martí monument began during the presidency of Fulgencio Batista
The square and the monument were rounded in 1959, when Fidel Castro came to power
It was originally the “Plaza Cívica” but after the Cuban Revolution in 1959, it`s the "Plaza de la Revolución" or "Revolution Square"
An elevator makes it possible to get to the top of the monument, at 109 meters, one of the highest points in Havana
