Revolution Plaza (Plaza de la Revolucion)

The Plaza de la Revolución Square, located in Vedado, Havana's municipality of the same name, is one of the world's largest public squares, measuring 72,000 square meters. It is also a historically significant site, having hosted numerous major events during the Cuban Revolution. Fidel Castro gave lectures here, the Pope performed mass during his 1998 visit to Cuba, and several protests took occurred.

Its vast terrace has hosted several Party congresses, as well as acts of solidarity with brother nations and remembrances of historic events such as the attack on Cuartel Moncada and the Revolution's victory. The magnificent monument dedicated to General Antonio Maceo, a 19th-century military hero, is the most remarkable feature of this enormous area. A colossal sculpture of the General on horseback is surrounded by saw-toothed machetes that sprout from the grass. Alberto Lezcay, a local artist, created this magnificent work of art, which was constructed in the 1990s.
