Didn't catch the canon firing at night cos there always seemed to be something to do in Havana, but it was a nice (albeit hot) place to sit and people-watch or just look out into the waters, harbour and the lighthouse. Bring sunscreen if you intend to hang around. Our drive tour took us close, but not close enough and... More

At night .......... .......... go back to the sixteenth century When to close the walls, fired the cannon from the fortress at 9 pm, and revive it is an unforgettable experience ....

We were staying at casa vieja 1840 (casavieja1840.com) and the owner Karen adviced us to go see the nine o'clock canon firing at the Moro castle, which we had been hearing every night.

This is a must visit for Habana and where a hat it is is a sunny day as there is NO shade. Some excellent nearby restaurante to be sampled after the visit.

Every night the cannon is fired signaling the 1700s tradition of letting the people know the city gates were closing. It is re-enacted every night. The cannon fires at 9 PM but go early to check out the other displays, the chapel, Che's office and lots of shopping.

The view was excellent and the firing of the cannon was interesting and entertaining. This is a must see attraction.

Really nice place to visit, across the harbour. Super views of Havana. There are some bars and restaurants there so you could visit for sunset.
