The city of Santiago de Cuba has long been the capital of Cuba, its prime location near the most convenient bays of the Caribbean gave him advantages for trade development of the city .  In the seventeenth century it was decided to strengthen the borders of the city and protect it from pirate attacks .  So it was built the famous fortress Castillo del Moro, which was later made into the list of UNESCO world heritage .  Construction of the fortress lasted for almost 63 years old, and she eventually was so unassailable that the famous privateer Henry Morgan said: "For the defense of the fortress enough of a soldier and a dog" .  Most likely, such a strong structure of the Castillo del Moro was the fact that the fortress perfectly preserved to our times .  And after five centuries an impregnable fortress exudes power: bridges, towers, walls, embrasures with cannons .  This place is famous in the first place so that indoors is the only museum in the world history of piracy .  From the first minutes of the tour you get into the realm of buccaneers .  Pirate clothing, weapons, treasures of the coastal waters of the fighting ships, paintings of sea dogs, colorful battlefield ... Museum of the History of piracy are very fond of both adults and children .
