Morro Castle, Havana, Cuba

[ca. 1930–1945]

Built of solid stone in 1587 by Philip II of Spain, of whom it was said "the sun never sets on his domains," this fortress in 1762 glorious defended Havana, when the English attacked it by land. In 1844, the tower was built for a lighthouse. No longer needed as a fortress, the Morro Castle is now used as a military academy.
