A former cooking-oil factory converted into an experimental art, music, and nightlife space — one ticket covers multiple galleries, bars, and live performance areas inside.
El Capitolio
Havana's answer to the US Capitol, built just before it and briefly the tallest building in Cuba — recently restored and open for interior tours.
