Cuba part 3

Our last day in Cienfuegos, we went outside of the city to the Castillo de Jagua.  It is an old fortress built in the 1700's to guard the city from pirates.  They had a torture chamber there, as well as a tiny chapel.  Sounds about right.  

approaching the fortress.  this little church was across the street.

The view of the little town from the top of the fortress


After touring the fortress, we hired a little boat and rode along the water.  


I tried to take a panoramic shot and this is how it came out.
