Casa del Che Cultural Center in La Cabaña
The Casa del Che Cultural Center in La Cabaña is located in the first house that Che Guevara occupied in 1959, when Fidel Castro ordered him to move towards Santa Clara and occupy the area of La Cabaña in Havana, being the first place where Che sleeps on his arrival in Havana.
When Che arrived at this place, he occupied the La Cabaña Command, performing his duties in it and resting and dispatching important matters in the house, where there is an office in which he received influential visitors.
