Every evening at 9:00 pm, a
group of uniformed soldiers dressed in colonial-era attire reenact the firing of the cannon,
known as "El Cañonazo," at the Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabaña. This ceremony
originally served as a signal to close the city gates and protect Havana from potential
invasions. As the sun sets over the city, visitors gather to witness this unique spectacle.
The soldiers meticulously follow the ritual, complete with the lighting of the fuse and the
deafening boom of the cannon firing. The echoes reverberate through the night, creating a
sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. The atmosphere during the Cannon Firing Ceremony is
electric, with the sound of drums and bugles adding to the excitement. The historic setting
of the fortress and the stunning views of Havana make this experience truly unforgettable.
After the ceremony, visitors can explore the fort and enjoy panoramic views of the city and
the sea.
