Memorials / Monuments, Little Havana
Fodor's Review:
Two blocks in the heart of Little Havana are filled with monuments to Cuba's freedom fighters. Among the memorials are the Eternal Torch of the Brigade 2506, commemorating those who were killed in the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of 1961; a bust of 19th-century hero Antonio Maceo; and a bas-relief map of Cuba depicting each of its municipios. There's also a bronze statue in honor of Tony Izquierdo, who participated in the Bay of Pigs invasion, served in Nicaragua's Somozan forces, and interestingly enough was also on the CIA payroll.
