Standing at the heart of Havana's Plaza de la Revolución, the José Martí Memorial serves as a significant tribute to a pivotal figure in Cuban history. This striking monument, found in the Vedado district, is recognised as the world's largest memorial dedicated to a writer. Its design features a distinctive star-shaped tower, accompanied by a statue of José Martí himself, encircled by six stately columns. The memorial is further enhanced by adjacent gardens, creating a space of reflection and national pride.
