La Demajagua
La Demajagua Sugar Mill outside Manzanillo is the place where Carlos Manuel de Cespedes freed his slaves and called for rebellion against Spain in 1868. There's a large monument at the entrance to the estate, and you can see the bell used by Céspedes to summon his slaves to freedom. The Museo Histórico La Demajagua, in Céspedes's former home, displays documents, photos, and other artifact related to the Father of our Homeland.
