Une girouette appelée La Giraldilla, sculpture créée par Jerónimo Martín Pinzón en l'honneur d'Isabel de Bobadilla y Peñalosa, a été placée sur sa tour. Il s'agit de la plus ancienne sculpture en bronze coulée à Cuba, qui est actuellement le symbole de la ville de La Havane. Aujourd'hui, la giraldilla que l'on voit dans la tour est une réplique et l'original se trouve dans l'une des salles du château. La sculpture est également une réplique du Giraldillo de Séville. Symbole de La Havane . ======================================= A Weathervane Called La Giraldilla, Is a Sculpture Created By Jerónimo Martín Pinzón in Honor of Isabel de Bobadilla y Peñalosa .Has Been Placed on its Tower. It is The Oldest Bronze Sculpture Cast in Cuba , And Is Currently The Symbol of The City in La Havana - Cuba . Today, The Giraldilla Seen in The Tower is A Replica, and the original is housed in one of the castle's rooms. The sculpture is a replica of the Giraldillo in Seville.

Vreme posete: početak marta 2014. god. Na vrhu Zamka kraljevske moći nalazi se vetrokaz "La Giraldilla", simbol Havane. To je replika, a original je izložen u Pomorskom muzeju. Napravljen je od bronze, a izlio ga je livničar iz Havane Jeronimo Martin Pinzon, po uzoru na seviljsku lopaticu. Ovaj simbol se može videti na više mesta i institucija u Havani.

It’s a weather vane on the watchtower of Castillo de Real Fuerza. Symbolizes the figure of the only female governor of Havana. Her name was Doña Isabel de Bobadilla. When her husband, Hernando de Soto went to Florida, she took the office of Havana’s governor. Doña Isabel de Bobadilla was a strong woman. She well managed the city and military affairs. Unfortunately, señor Hernando de Soto died in America. The legend says that Doña Isabel de Bobadilla was waiting for her husband every day and she was watching to north horizont. La Giraldilla's replica is also at the bastion’s fort museum.

15th May 2017. Our two ladies were accosted by a nice young man urging us all to follow him. He would normally have been given short shrift but he had a winning smile and our girls were soft on him.

Hard way to have to get business though. Very well...

La Giraldilla es uno de los símbolos más representativos de La Habana y el más antiguo. Leyenda de amor, historia, arte, símbolo, todo encerrado en esta estatuilla, realizada por el escultor habanero Jerónimo Martín Pinzón en la tercera década del siglo XVII.

La Giraldilla es una veleta, con la figura de una mujer, que sostiene en su mano derecha una palma de la que sólo conserva el tronco, y en su izquierda, en un asta, la Cruz de Calatrava, orden a la que pertenecía el gobernador. Tiene 110 centímetros de alto, en su pecho aparece un medallón con el nombre del autor y tiene la falda recogida sobre su muslo derecho. Durante siglos, la veleta fue respetada por decenas de huracanes tropicales, hasta que el ciclón del 20 de octubre de 1926 la arrancó de su pedestal y la hizo caer al patio. La figura que se observa en la Real Fuerza es una réplica, pues la original se encuentra en el Museo de la Ciudad, antiguo Palacio de los Capitanes Generales, a la vista de todos, pero protegida de los vientos huracanados que no saben la historia de amor que encierra la Giraldilla en sí misma y el valor que tiene para los habaneros este símbolo...
