In one of the pavilions there is a map where are marked all the Spanish fortifications scattered in Latin America, there were more than 40 marked, only in Cuba there are 4 fortresses, so the reign of Spain created large fortresses to defend the colonized territories. It also explains how the English took Havana, being this one of the serious damages to the Morro, where it was necessary to make a reconstruction of much embergadura.
In the lobby there is a small exhibition. You can see a model of an observatory and a ship. Unfortunately, these models did not identify which construction they were referring to. In the exhibition there is an equipment called "Anteojo de Pasos" which is used to determine the time of passage of the stars in the meridian from which the observation is being made. It was used at the Cagigal Observatory in Caracas by scientists making their observations.
No less than the shady terrace, the indoor space is also very attractive, this room is very large, even though the barista and cashier tables are inside it doesn't look crowded, instead it seems very spacious and cozy. In this room, there are several sections, you can choose which one you like. I like the design of this room which is so in love with nature, they make very good use of light. Using wide glass windows, there is no barrier to sunlight entering.
