Morro Castle, Havana, Cuba
Additional Details:
| Built of solid stone in 1587 by Philip II of Spain, of whom it was said "the Sun never sets on his dominions." This fortress in 1762 gloriously defended Havana, when the English attacked it by land. In 1844, the Tower was built for a lighthouse. No longer needed as a fortress, the Morro Castle is now used as a Military Academy. |
