Baracoa, Cuba’s oldest and most isolated town

Bust of Hatuey, Baracoa

The bust of Hatuey, a Taíno Cacique (chief) from the island of Quisqueya (now Hispaniola), who fled to Cuba with 400 men and raised a Taíno army to fight the Spanish. He besieged them mostly around Baracoa, but was caught and on 2 February 1512 he was tied to a stake and burned alive at Yara, near present-day Bayamo. He is called “America's First Rebel”, one the first fighters against colonialism in the New World and celebrated as “Cuba's First National Hero”.
