On the opposite shore of the Havana Bay, on a rocky hill, the majestic and impregnable fortress of Morro is located. Every evening, a huge number of citizens and guests of the capital rush there by 21.00 to the ceremony of firing a cannon, which is accompanied by a colorful performance. In the good old days, this cannon shot announced the closure of the bay for the passage of ships with the help of a powerful chain lowered into the water. A magnificent traditional ceremony that takes place every evening at nine o'clock in the fortress of San Carlos de la Cabañ a.
In the colonial era, a cannon shot served as a signal to close the city gates and stretch the chain between the fortresses of El Morro and La Punta, which blocked the ships from entering the bay. Today, this moment marks the beginning of a gay Havana night.
