Plaza de la Revolución is one of the world's largest public squares, serving as the symbolic heart of Havana. Visitors encounter the towering José Martí Memorial and the famous steel silhouette of Che Guevara on the Interior Ministry building. The open expanse, often used for political gatherings, offers a stark contrast to Havana's colonial plazas. Walking across the square gives a sense of Cuba's revolutionary history, with the memorial and murals providing photo-worthy focal points.
