Recientemente tuve la oportunidad de visitar este histórico lugar, que a pesar de ser restaurado conserva su estructura y diseño original el cual ni los estragos del tiempo lo han podido dañar.
Su impresionante puente de madera, que tiembla bajo tus pies, te hace pensar dos veces, si entras o no, pero sus muros lleno de historias, amor y dolor se vuelven irresistible
.

I recently had the opportunity to visit this historic place, which despite being restored, preserves its original structure and design which not even the ravages of time have been able to damage.
Its impressive wooden bridge, which trembles under your feet, makes you think twice about whether to enter or not, but its walls full of stories, love and pain become irresistible

Sus escaleras en forma de espiral o de caracol nos traslada en el tiempo, reviviendo cada detalle de su historia,
Esta fortaleza construida con fuertes muros de roca y piedras se convirtió en el escudo de la ciudad y hoy en día es un museo y un lugar turístico donde muchas personas tanto cubanos como extranjeros vienen a beber de la fuentes históricas que emana de su interior
.

Its spiral or spiral staircases take us back in time, reliving every detail of its history,
This fortress built with strong walls of rock and stones became the shield of the city and today it is a museum and a tourist place where many people, both Cubans and foreigners, come to drink from the historical fountains that emanate from its interior

Entrar al calabozo de la muerte es escalofriante y atemorizante, con sus fuertes rejas y frías paredes te da la sensación de que tu eres el prisionero.
Luego encontramos la iglesia con sus bancos originales de Caoba y torneados y el Cristo crucificado al frente, prácticas religiosas que formaron parte de la transculturación de nuestra nación
.

Entering the dungeon of death is chilling and frightening, with its strong bars and cold walls it gives you the feeling that you are the prisoner.
Then we found the church with its original Mahogany and tornado benches and the crucified Christ in front, religious practices that were part of the transculturation of our nation

En la parte superior del castillo encontramos toda la artillería de hierro fundido,y el depósito de la pólvora y las municiones,las cuales eran trasladadas por un carril de madera hasta los cañones, los cuales se encuentran ubicados de frente al mar, estos eran el principal armamento que utilizaban para defenderse a la distancia de los ataques de corsarios y piratas que saqueaban la ciudad en aquel entonces, hoy son toda una reliquia histórica que junto a la suave brisa que viene del mar Caribe nos revela un sin número de batallas liberadas.

In the upper part of the castle we found all the cast iron artillery, and the gunpowder and ammunition deposit, which were transported by a wooden rail to the cannons, which are located facing the sea, these were the main weapon they used to defend themselves from a distance against the attacks of corsairs and pirates who looted the city at that time, today they are a historical relic that, together with the soft breeze that comes from the Caribbean Sea, reveals countless battles fought.

Y al asomarnos por las murallas que forman parte del balcón del castillo, podemos ver para la parte norte la bahía de Santiago, con todos sus cayos e islas, fieles testigos de la historia que encierra este imponente castillo. Y hacia la parte sur podemos ver el farro el cual alumbra con su luz a los marineros desde hace más de cuatro siglo.

And when we look out over the walls that are part of the castle's balcony, we can see to the north the bay of Santiago, with all its keys and islands, faithful witnesses of the history that this imposing castle contains. And towards the southern part we can see the farro which has illuminated sailors with its light for more than four centuries.
