Cementerio
Santa Ifigenia is the large cemetery for freedom fighters and revolutionaries
from Santiago de Cuba
You have to pay entrance fee to visit the cemetery and if
you want to make photos you'll need to buy another ticket
At the entrance there
are some guides who speak English
Left on the cemetery stands the mausoleum of Jose Marti
A tower of stone from Havana (representing his youth) on a surface of marble
In the center is a marble statue of Marti
Every half hour the guard changed with music
Along the main avenue is the tomb of y Emilio Bacardi Moreau
The pyramid of black marble has a truncated top and symbols
that he was a freemason
Opposite the mausoleum of Marti lying several "martyrs of the revolution", including a number of fighters during the attack on the Moncada barracks deceased in 1953
