José Martí Anti-Imperialist Platform
Located on the Plaza de la Dignidad, this public venue was opened in 2000. It is positioned directly facing the U.S. Embassy and serves as a site for political events and demonstrations. Travelers visit this location to observe a specific aspect of Cuba's modern political history and its diplomatic relations with the United States.
Getting There
The platform is located within the city limits of Havana. From the city center, it is accessible via taxi or public transport. The trip typically takes 10 to 20 minutes depending on traffic conditions.
