Cuba News and Information

Interesting old photos of Casino de la Playa and upscale Marianao.

Marianao is home to a sprawling former military base, the Columbia Fortress, built by the U.S. after the defeat of Spain in 1898. When Cuba’s Revolutionary Army liberated Havana in January 1959, this was dictator Fulgencio Batista’s last stronghold. It is now called Ciudad Libertad (Freedom City).

Wifredo Lam also lived in that neighborhood.

VERY NICE PHOTO. I KNOW THAT THE CASINO NACIONAL OF MARIANAO BEACH WAS DEMOLISHED AROUND 1956, BUT ¿WHERE EXACTLY LOCATED THE CASINO NACIONAL BUILDING?
EVERYBODY SAID THAT WAS LOCATED AT MARIANAO BEACH. OK
BUT I WANT TO KNOW THE EXACTLY LOCATION OF THE BUILDING. eg. TEN METERS FROM THE SEA, OR, BESIDES THE X,Y,Z, CAMP, OR BETWEEN THIS AND THAT FACILITIES, ETC…
