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
