Castle of San Salvador de La Punta

 
The Castle of San Salvador de La Punta stands on the Port of Havana, forming part of the defensive system formed by the four fortresses that defend the Bay of Havana. It was designed by Italian military engineer Giovanni Bautista Antonelli and was built between 1589 and 1600.
 
During the colonial era every night a 250-meter chain extended from here to the Castle of the Three Kings of Morro, to close the mouth of the port to the ships.
