Museo Casa Natal de Ignacio Agramonte - ( CUBA )

This is the birthplace of the independence hero Ignacio Agramonte (1841–73), the cattle rancher who led the Camagűey area's revolt against Spain. The house – an elegant colonial building in its own right – tells the oft-overlooked role of Camagüey and Agramonte in the First War of Independence.



In July 1869 rebel forces under Agramonte bombarded Camagüey, and four years later Agramonte was killed in action, aged only 32. You can hear Cuban folk singer Silvio Rodríguez' anthem to this hero, who was nicknamed 'El Mayor' (Major), on his album Días y flores . The hero's gun is one of his few personal possessions displayed. Opposite Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Merced, on the corner of Independencia.

The building on the right with the beautiful Che sculpture is just the post office.
