Overview

Camilo Cienfuegos was a famous revolutionary who fought alongside Fidel Castro and Ernesto “Ché” Guevara. This museum is in the actual house where he was born, and displays some of his personal possessions. Around a year before the Cuban revolution, the plane that Cienfuegos was flying in over the ocean, mysteriously disappeared; and on the date of this event, 28th October, it is customary for the island's children to cast flowers into the sea. This particular revolutionary and son of Spanish anarchists, is also known as “the hero of Yunguajay", a municipal district of Las Villas. It is prohibited to take photographs within the museum.
