Beautiful historical place. You can feel the greatness of ancient construction when you see the building structure standing after +450 years (yes, +450) Sadly there's no much information offered to the tourist about when it was built and the purpose of it. Great place to see the city from another angle and wander around.

A beautiful experience to discover the Cubans history

Went here during a day trip to Havana. It was an ok walking through the Fort to see the firing of the cannon but the best part to me was getting to watch the storm rolling in over Havana I snapped a few pics with my camera :)

The tradition of the nightly canon firing ceremony is amazing. It draws foreigners and Cubans alike. Make sure you get there between 7:30 and 8:00pm to pick a good place right behind the chains in front of the canon. Make yourself a favor and DO NOT pay for the "VIP" seating. You can bring your own food/beverage or buy one there.

(Translated by Google) You have to visit. It is well maintained and represents a historic moment that we only know from books. (Original) Tem de visitar. É bem conservado e representa um momento histórico que só conhecemos pelos livros.

Hängt alles irgendwie zusammen die Festungsanlagen und lohnen auf alle Fälle. Einen Tag sollte man einplanen.

For 100 CUP you can visit this very historical site. If you're in Old Havana for a few days this is a must do. Every single night there's a show commemorating the cannons blast at 9:00 p.m. make sure you show up around sunset so you can see the city in it's most beautiful state and capture show as well. They have gift shops bring water. **Make sure you have a way to get there and way back. Because you can't walk back into thru the tunnels. It shouldn't cost more than 10€ from Old Havana, I'm sure you can negotiate at round trip for 15 - 20€

Awesome historical fortress!! Be sure to check out the cigar shop, which offers great deals on boxes of cigars, rum, and coffee. Also stop by the display for the longest cigar in the world... cool place!

(Translated by Google) This is another of the fortresses that protected Havana from the attacks of corsairs and pirates. In this site a tradition is maintained that is worth visiting and is the cannon shot of 9 pm. All a ritual of when the bay was closed and its inhabitants were protected. The ceremony is carried out with typical costumes of the time and a cannon shot is fired which resonates throughout Havana. (Original) Esta es otra de las fortalezas qué Protegían a la habana de los ataques de corsarios y Piratas. En este sitio se mantiene una tradición que es digna de visitar y es el cañonazo de las 9 pm. Todo un ritual de cuando se cerraba la bahía y se protegía a sus habitantes. La ceremonia se realiza con trajes típicos de la.época y se dispara una salva de cañón qué retumba en toda la habana.

the cannon ceremony is AMAZING and i’m still going on about it to all my friends. would definitely visit again!!! BTW, you’ll get the best view if you go to the top / to the balcony, but a bit to the left so you can see the ocean, city, cannon, lighthouse and pretty much everything

Awesome night ... Cannon Blast Ceremony

For the same reason, it is best to arrive at night. Inside there are a couple of interesting museums and you can buy handicrafts (Original) Imperdible de imperdibles si vas a Cuba. Además de que el lugar es espectacular, tienen el show del cañonazo, un clásico en la historia de La Habana. Por lo mismo, lo mejor es llegar por la noche.

Historical fort built to prevent enemies entering Havana. Very nice scenic view of old city Havana and surroundings. Must visit if in Havana. Highway recommended.

Best time to visit at 8pm to have enough time before the cannon is fired at 9pm. It is a nice place to watch the sunset and view Havana also. At the end you’ll find many taxis and they’ll ask for 10usd to cross you over back to Havana.

This fort and procession at nine pm with the cannon shot was more than amazing. This was the last stop in our full day tour of Havana and what an experience.

Can take ferry to Casa Blanca and then walk up the hill for 20 minuses. The fort itself is gorgeous but the view from it is what one must see.

a place worth visiting. the military parade and the firing of the canon is magnificent. you can also see Havana fully

Beautiful fort with the canon firing ceremony at 9 PM everyday. The views of sunset and of Havana from here are spectacular. It’s next to El Morro fort. There is also a bar and restaurant inside the fort along with handicraft shop. Cannot miss this if you are in Havana.

Went there for a wedding. But it's a beautiful place

Great place for events, great view on the Port of Havana and on the skyline. It's a great spot for amazing photos.

Cool spot to view the Closing of the Gate Ceremony from. It’s very touristy, but nice.

Impressive fort with perfect views over the bay.

If you visit Havana dont miss this experience.

Cool fort overlooking Havana harbor. Has a real pirates of the Caribbean feel.

(Translated by Google) Top highly recommended (Original) Top sehr empfehlenswert

Acceptable way to spend 200 CUP for non-Cuban nationals We visited the location on 23.06.2022. As always throughout Cuba, being a non-national, one is discriminated with regards to the entry fee, i.e. you are being charged a lot more than the locals. (Wondering if Cuba has actually signed the Human Rights Act , Article 14: Right not to be discriminated against. It definitely applies to the wallet as well.) The spectacle is good enough for the entry fee. Bare in mind the toilet entry fee is separate. (It should be included in the entry price to the "attraction".)

(Translated by Google) The place is really beautiful (Original) La verdad está muy bonito el lugar

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place, very careful, clean and interesting. (Original) Un lugar hermoso, muy cuidado, limpio e interesante.

We enjoyed visiting this during the day. Entrance as only a few dollars per person. We spent close to an hour exploring all the nooks and crannies. Lots of old cannons to see and a park like atmosphere.

Very nice night with my family. At la Cabaña. After the Cannon shot exactly at 9 pm the rain start falling and was very cold, the artisan has a beatiful collection of cubans objects, including old cars, indian faces, cigars, ballerins, magic box and a lots more, please reach on time. I mean at least 15 minutes before, not like us that we reach almost there 4 minutes before they shot the cannon. The ceromony was very nice and remebered the colony times. I invited my lovely "Min sjeleven Minerva" along with my parents. This place is highly recommended, you will enjoy this place.

One of the largest in the Caribbean A must see. At 9pm thre is a cannon shot with a small show

Beautiful sunsets and lot of history. You can check the everyday performance but be aware of taxi drivers after the show.

A most visit when you are in Havana.You get transported in Time ,the act is amazing.Lots of History

Local taxis take us to this place to buy rum and cigars. The history is wonderful. You will get to see the world biggest hand rolled cigar. The man who rolled it was there the day we went. End of Aug 2023. I believe this place has legit cigars but prepair to pay a premium for them. I am not into cigars so I wasn't willing to dash out 125 bucks for 3 cohibas. Don't bother buying the rum there. You will find it cheaper almost anywhere else. Enjoy your stay!

A great fort yo visit. Cost is a bit high compared to what a Cuban pays to visit. Feel taken advantage of, but worth the price. Souvineer shops located inside

This fortification is exquisite 👌. It is extremely big and does take a long time to see the entirety.

We saw a giant cigar..... the best part of this place was the air conditioning in the cigar room. We were expecting a tour of the fort... but put guide seemed more interested in brining us to shops.

Great plaza with lots of history and amazing culture. Se los recomiendo a todos

It's fine for a couple of panoramic pictures of the city. But it has very few things to see. There's a cigar store inside

This fortification’s size is impressive. Unfortunately, the government has put almost no effort into making this site interesting for tourists. Of all the rooms inside the fort, only 2 are even open to tourists: a small chapel and a bizarre ancient history museum (whose dozen-odd artefacts include a plastic Neanderthal, a boomerang and nothing relating to Cuba).

Wow. Totally amazing experience. I went on a Monday night, and it was crowded. I was not expecting that many people to show up, but to my surprise, there were people lined up and gathered on the lower level and higher level to take pics and videos. One of my most memorable experiences here in Havana. You get to relive the experience of how the fort, soldiers, and canons were all set in place to defend the city from pirates and coastal raiders. Must see if you're in Havana for more than a few nights.

(Translated by Google) The cannon shot at 9 o'clock in Havana It is an 18th century cannon that is in the fortress of San Carlos decla Cabaña and is fired every night by soldiers in period clothes at 9:00 p.m. Let's start the trip to the past. All the lights go out and in the distance a voice is heard saying ... SILENCE ... The lanterns that will illuminate throughout the show are turned on. The drum roll sounds with a martial touch and young soldiers of the Spanish Crown appear marching, their footsteps are heard on the cobblestones. The past and the present are mixed as the flashes of the cameras that illuminate the entire Fortress begin to be seen and the cannonball ceremony begins This tradition begins in the late seventeenth century, to protect itself from the frequent attacks by corsairs and pirates, Havana was surrounded by a wall that closed its doors at eight at night. To announce it, a cannon was fired from a ship located in the port, until 1774, when the construction of the Cabaña was completed. Many years later it began to be released at 9 at night and since then it is part of the night sounds of the Cuban capital, and today it has become a tourist attraction It is made from the cannon battery of the fortress that is composed of 21 bronze cannons and curiously each one has its name, in short, I will not tell you more so that you are encouraged and enjoy this beautiful show that you ride on a machine time and allows you to enjoy the customs of the colonial era. ENJOY IT . (Original) El cañonazo de las 9 en La Habana Es un cañón del siglo XVIII que está en la fortaleza de San Carlos decla Cabaña y es disparado todas las noches por soldados vestidos de época a las 21:00. Empecemos el viaje al pasado. Se apagan todas  las luces y a lo lejos se escucha una voz que dice ....SILENCIO... Se van encienden los faroles que iluminarán durante todo el espectáculo.   Suena el redoble de tambor con un toque marcial y aparecen marchando jóvenes soldados de la Corona española, sus pasos se escuchan sobre los adoquines. Se mezclan el pasado y el presente al empezar a verse los flashes de las cámaras fotográficas que iluminan toda la Fortaleza y comienza la ceremonia del cañonazo Esta tradición comienza a fines del siglo XVII , para protegerse de los frecuentes ataques de corsarios y piratas, La Habana estaba rodeaba de una muralla que  cerraba sus puertas a las ocho de la noche.  Para anunciarlo se disparaban un cañón desde un buque situado en el puerto, hasta  1774, que finaliza  la construcción de la Cabaña. Muchos años después se comenzó a lanzarlo a las 9 de la noche  y desde entonces forma parte de los sonidos nocturnos de la capital cubana, y en la actualidad se ha convertido en una atracción turística que se realiza desde la bateria de cañones de la fortaleza que esta compuesta por 21 cañones de bronce y curiosamente cada uno tiene su nombre,  en fin , no les cuento más para que se animen y disfruten de este bello espectáculo que te monta en una maquina del tiempo y te permite disfrutar de las costumbres de la época colonial. DISFRUTENLO .

This is Cuba one our trip last year. Great time.

Not nearly as cool as the Castillo de Los Tres Reyes. The castle is large but that is its main selling point, having exhibits that lack the relevancy of those in Tres Reyes and not much in the way of complexity. Also smelled unclean and the majority of the buildings were closed. However, Che Guevara's command post is interesting and the view is pretty spectacular as well.

If you are going to Cuba, you definitely have to visit this place. Especially at night, there is a tradition every single day at 9:00 PM where one of the old cannons is fired like many years ago Spanish people used to do it.

Great historic complex with great site seeing opportunities all around

Nice place to visit. It's on the other side of the water from Habana old City perspective, so need to take a cab. In the evening the is an event where they shoot with the cannons.

Wonderful experience to explore and learn the history of this impressive place.

Visited with a tour for the 9pm cannon blast caremony. Very interesting souvenir stands along the main walkway.

(Translated by Google) We enjoyed the dramatization of the cannon shot, at 9:00 p.m., in period costumes, we had the courtesy of a local guide, who narrated the history of the Fortress (Original) Disfrutamos de la Teatralización del cañonazo, a las 21 hs, con los trajes de época, tuvimos la gentileza de una guía local, que narró la historia de la Fortaleza

(Translated by Google) When we were in Havana we were offered a tour of riding in a vintage car to go see that area of ​​the city for about € 50 to change. I really don't think it's worth it. Other ways to go can be by ferry or by taking a taxi that negotiates about € 4. It is worth going there but you have to reserve enough time to see everything. You will do most of the way in the sun, there are no shadows. You walk around the area and negotiate another taxi to return. (Original) Cuando estábamos en la Habana nos ofrecían un tour de montar en un coche de época para ir a ver esa zona de la ciudad por unos 50€ al cambio. La verdad que no creo que merezca la pena. Otras formas de ir pueden ser en ferry o cogiendo un taxi que negociando nos salión unos 4€. Merece la pena ir hasta allí pero tienes que reservar bastante tiempo para poder verlo todo. La mayor parte del camino lo vas a hacer al sol, no hay sombras. Te das una vuelta por la zona y negocias otro taxi para volver.

Excellent location to view old Havana. It is quiet and spacious park.

An immense Spanish military fort from the 18th century. Built between 1763 and 1774. I would like to recommend a visit for anyone who likes to view stone fortresses or fortified castles. The size of this fortress is impressive. On the other hand, an impression is as well as how many fortresses and how strong garrison a few centuries ago the Spanish maintained in Havana !!! I visited in February 2018: Castillo de San Salvador de la Punta, Castillo de la Real Fuerza, Castillo De Los Tres Reyes Del Morro and Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabaña.

(Translated by Google) The old Spanish fortress, in our time there is a ceremony to close the gates of the city, this happens at 21:00 local time. There are many souvenir shops here during the day.

(Translated by Google) This fortress protected Havana in times of war, now every day at 9:00 PM there is a ceremony to launch a cannon, it is a very beautiful experience. Upon entering they sell many handicrafts, as Mexicans the advantage is that you can pay in our currency. The entrance before 6 is 6 cuc and after it is 8 cuc. It is very close to the Castillo del Morro.

(Translated by Google) It is very beautiful, I love it, I can recommend the cannon seremony. And it is very easy to get from Havana you can go by ferry to Casa Blanca. It is worth 10 Cuban pesos. One way you get to Casa Blanca and you walk to the castle. I walked at night from the castle to the ferry everything is very beautiful. (Original) Es muy bonito me encanta, la seremonia del cañonaso la recomiendo. Y es bien facil de llegar desde la habana se puede ir en ferry a casa blanca vale 10 pesos cubanos un sentido llegas a casa blanca y caminas a el castillo puedes aprobechar y visitar el cristo de la habana la casa del che, ademas es super seguro yo camine en la noche del castillo al ferry es muy bonito todo.
