One of the quirks of Havana’s history took place at the Hotel Lincoln. On Sunday 23rd February 1958 Juan Manuel Fangio, five times world champion racing driver, was kidnapped in the lobby by a member of Fidel Castro’s 26th July Movement. Fangio was talking to the British driver Stirling Moss, when he was whisked away at gunpoint from the hotel into a waiting getaway car. The event made front-page news in Rome, Mexico City, Paris, London, New York, and Buenos Aires. The plan was to stop Fangio competing in a race which, the captors claimed, would improve the Batista government’s rapidly deteriorating public image. Mr. Fangio was released from kidnap without harm at the end of the race. Room 810 has been preserved as it was during Fangio's stay, and is open to hotel guests for visits.

El Capitolio Habana | Havana Capital Building
Way before the site for the Capitolio Habana had been appropriately cleaned up after its construction, the Capitol was an mandatory visit for all visitors to the island, and since then it has been customary for all tourists coming to Cuba to have their photo taken with the great building in the background as proof of their stay in Havana.
The monumental work which is the Capitol was constructed during the second half of the 1920s. The building was inaugurated on May the 20th, 1929 to commemorate the establishment of the republic in Cuba. The whole process took 3 years because the building was erected over the foundations of the former railways station “Villanueva”. It was conceived as the seat of the Congress and the Senate and the American company Purdy and Henderson fulfil the construction project.
The Capitol Building or Capitolio Habana is, without any word of doubt, one of the most distinguished buildings in Havana, not just due to its monumental character, but also to its singular features, which make it one of the most representative buildings of its type in the word. The eclectic style in which it is built is typical of the mixture of styles which characterizes the peoples of the Caribbean region.
The façade shows a prevailing of the neoclassical style while the inner decoration is mainly an opulent eclectic style but without losing the balance. The 90 m. high dome is a visible from all the ends of the city. The bronzed statues standing at each side of the main entry were done by the Italian Angelo Zanelli and they represent the work and progress and the Tutelar Virtue of the Cuban people. The main entry has 3 doors as well as 3 were also the regions in which the island was divided, each one exhibit part of the Cuban history. From rightwards: the first one it’s devoted to the conquer period, the second one to the XIX century independence wars and the third one to the republics. The statue inside the Capitol was also made by Angelo Zanelli and represents the Republics. It’s the 3rd world highest statue under roof with 17.5 m high and 30 tons of weight, totally covered with golden sheets. It’s placed in the center of the main hall “The Room of Lost Steps” originally conceived for the official ceremonies. This 48 m long and 15 m wide hall it’s covered by different kinds of marble and at its center lays a replica of the 44 carats diamond that pointed the start of the Cuban Central Highway system called “Ocho Vias”.
