The centerpiece of this park lined with weird robles africanos – African oaks with large penis-shaped pods – is Iglesia de San Fulgencio , built in 1850 but recently the recipient of a gleaming renovation. The Statue of Liberty in front commemorates the Spanish-Cuban-American War. On the western side of the square, in a beautiful colonial palace (more interesting than the stuffed stuff it collects), is the Museo de Historia Natural . Through barred windows you can watch women rolling cheroots in the cigar factory across the square.
