"Hasta La Victoria Siempre" (Until the Final Victory) 🚩💪

The Plaza de la Revolución 🏟️😎 is one of Cuba's most iconic symbols 🇨🇺 and ranks among the world's largest urban squares. Covering 11 acres, it was designed by French architects. On the southern side of the square stand two imposing gray government buildings 🏢🏛️, housing Cuba's most critical administrative offices. One of these is the Ministry of the Interior building, featuring one of Cuba's most recognizable images: a colossal steel portrait of revolutionary hero Che Guevara 👨‍✈️💥. Modeled after his iconic photograph—seen worldwide—this image has become a symbol of counterculture, while Che himself is celebrated as a hero of international communism, dubbed the "Communist Don Quixote." 🌍⚔️ Below the sculpture, his famous words "Hasta La Victoria Siempre" ("Until the Final Victory") are inscribed. 📜✨ In 2009, Che Guevara gained a companion: Camilo Cienfuegos's portrait was installed on the telecommunications building across the square 📡👨‍🦱. Another leader of the Cuban Revolution, Camilo was a native-born Havanan revolutionary, though far less globally recognized than the Argentine-born internationalist Che. On the northern side of the square stands a monument to José Martí 🗽🌟, Cuba's national hero and revolutionary forerunner. The centerpiece is a 109-meter-tall pentagonal tower crowned with Martí's statue. This tower dominates the plaza and serves as a national landmark. 🗼💫 The Plaza de la Revolución functions as Cuba's administrative heart 💼🏛️—its monuments, statues, buildings, centers of state power, and government ministries form an inseparable part of modern Cuba. Together, the three most celebrated Cuban revolutionary pioneers have made this square one of the world's most renowned revolutionary sites. 🌐🔥 #WorldHistory #Architecture #HistoricalCulture
