How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The fortress guarding the entrance of Havana harbour, which Edward sails past on his way into the Spanish capital.

The real place

El Morro was built between 1589 and 1630 on the rocky headland across the bay from Old Havana. The lighthouse in the photo was added in the 1840s, long after the game's time.

Visiting

Take a taxi or the tunnel bus across the bay. The fortress and the nearby La Cabana are best combined in the late afternoon, staying for the 9 pm cannon ceremony at La Cabana.
