We did not have time to walk over the cemetery, as our tour guide had made this an extra stop (thanks!) to visit the mausoleum of José Martí and witness the change of guards. Then back to the bus again and off to another destination on our 3.000km island tour.
Santa Ifigenia is, behind Cristobal Colon in Habana, the most interesting and important cemetery of the country, opened in 1868.
But I quickly walked a few of the other lanes and had the chance to have a brief look over the wide cemetery.
Next to the José Martí monument the memorial for the fighters killed in action during the insurgence (die Gefallenen des Aufstands), 1958
All very white, dark green leaves, bright blue sky, a few flowers – a beautiful place and scenery.
Die bewaffneten Streitkräfte der Revolution
For the marine stevedores (Hafenarbeiter) and peons (Tagelöhner) 
Upon departing one of the guards off duty rushed by.
Only when seeing this plan just now on my photos I realize how huge the Santa Ifigenia cemetery is!

I missed visiting the grave of Compay Segundo – real name beautifully Máximo Francisco Repilado Múñoz -, whom I met working in Berlin in 2000 (Winners of an Echo Music Award), didn´t know before now.
