Castillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro

The Castillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro, popularly known as El Morro, stands proudly at the entrance to the Bay of Havana in the Parque Historico Militar. El Morro was erected in the late 16th and early 17th centuries to protect against pirate raids. It was designed by Italian engineer Giovanni Battista Antonelli and looks much like it did in the 17th century.

The lighthouse is one of the most visible changes to the fort. It was repaired multiple times until being replaced in the mid-nineteenth century with a new solid stone lighthouse. The Castillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro is a Havana landmark and a popular destination for both tourists and locals. Many people have photographed and painted it, and it has also appeared in various movies. There are various exhibitions inside, but the building alone is worth seeing. From its top reaches, you may enjoy stunning views of the ocean and the city of Havana.
