La Giraldilla — the small bronze weather-vane statue that crowns the Castillo de la Real Fuerza — is an iconic Havana silhouette overlooking the harbor and Old Havana rooftops. Photographers will want close-ups of the statue's patina, wide compositions pairing it with the bay and Morro Castle, and dramatic silhouettes at sunrise or sunset. Located in Plaza de Armas, the site is reached on foot through Old Havana; expect cobbled streets, limited parking, and stairs inside the fortress. Museum/foh
