Casa Finlay

TIME : 2016/2/18 9:38:12

Camagüey's other hero, Dr Carlos J Finlay (1833–1915), was more concerned with saving lives than taking them. Calling this place – his birth house – a museum is a stretch, but on a good day one of the attendents might be able to enlighten you on his life story and scientific feats, most notably his medical breakthrough in discovering how mosquitoes transmit yellow fever. There's a splendidly grizzled indoor patio.
