🥇 Angerona, una historia en el silencio. - Angerona: A Story Woven in Silence [Esp - Eng] by
These ruins, once part of one of the most prosperous coffee plantations in western Cuba and the second largest on the island, hold a kind of mysticism where the goddess herself seems to conspire with the two central figures of the story: Cornelius Souchay and Ursula Lambert.

🥉 A Sentinel of Havana [EN/ES] by
This Castle had as its objective, together with the fortifications of El Morro and La Cabaña, to protect the nascent city. Situated right at the entrance of the port, it offered a privileged view of any vessel that tried to approach the coasts. After the fierce attack on Havana by the feared pirate Jacques de Sores, it was decided to reinforce the defensive system of the town, and it became necessary to fortify the city to increase the security of its inhabitants.
