Santiago 500: The Libertadores Avenue in the Heart of the City

One of the avenues that is most used by pedestrians and vehicles is the Avenida de los LIbertadores located in the historic center of the city of Santiago de Cuba where the heart beats of the going and coming of its people.

With 500 meters in length and considered the most important connection with other avenues, the street has over 20 busts of Generals of the independence war during the 19th century.
After defining the project its name was given in 1950.

As a curious information of the avenue is that its last phase is found in the Carretera Central –in its 986 kilometer-, one of the 7 wonders of Cuban civil engineering.

The residents of Santiago de Cuba are proud in having three National Monuments in that same avenue.
They are the July 26th School City (former Moncada Military Garrison), Provincial Court (former Justice Palace) and the Abel Santamaria Library-Park Museum (former Saturnino Lora Civil Hospital).

They are all linked to the events of the morning of Santa Ana in 1953, under the leadership of the historic leader of the Revolution Fidel Castro and day in which we celebrate its 62th anniversary on July 26th.
Santiago de Cuba will also celebrate the 500th anniversary of its foundation on July 25 th.
