The Cuartel Moncada, where Fidel Castro and his comrades launched their first,
abortive attack on the Batista dictatorship on 26 July 1953. "The ochre and white building,
topped with a fat row of castellations, is peppered with bullet holes from the attack. These
were plastered over on Fulgencio Batista's orders, only to be hollowed out again rather
obsessively by Castro when he came to power, with photographs used to make sure the positions
were as authentic as possible." (Rough Guide to Cuba)
