 The Central Park is a pleasant small park in Old Havana. The space acquired its current size after the demolition of the city walls in the 19th century. In the center of the square is a marble statue of Jose Marti placed in 1905.
On the west side there is the Hotel Telegrafo, the oldest hotel in Cuba, which opened its doors in 1860, a few years after the first telegraph station in the country, which inspired the name of the hotel. It moved to its current location in 1888. Next to it is the colonial Hotel Inglaterra, which opened in 1875, and El Gran Teatro de la Habana (The big Theatre of Havana).
