Castillo del Morro
Havana, Cuba
Perched at the entrance of Havana Bay, the Castle of the Three Kings of Morro is a late 16th-century fortress, constructed between 1587 and 1597 to protect the harbor from pirates and invaders. The iconic lighthouse, added in 1844, casts its beam over 30 kilometers out to sea. Its stone walls take on a golden hue at sunset, making it a photographer's delight and a must for history buffs exploring Havana.
