El Cristo de La Habana, majestuosa y colosal estatua que se encuentra a la entrada del puerto de La Habana, a la izquierda, entre la vetusta fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabaña y el pueblo de Casablanca, de 20 metros de alto.
Su creadora Lilia Jilma Madera Valiente, celebre de la plástica cubana. Primera mujer en el mundo en realizar una obra de tan gran magnitud y que ha sido la más popular del territorio cubano. Presentó su boceto al certamen y, sin esperarlo, triunfó.
Para esculpirlo no empleó ningún modelo, sino que se inspiró en su ideal de belleza masculina: ojos oblicuos, labios pulpusos, en sintonía con el mestizaje racial en este pedazo del mundo.
Se inspiró en aquel con quien estuvo ligada sentimentalmente y que dejó una huella.
" Seguí mis principios y traté de lograr una estatua llena de vigor y firmeza humana. Al rostro le imprimí serenidad y entereza como para dar alguien que tiene la certidumbre de sus ideas; no lo vi como un angelito entre nubes, sino con los pies firmes en la tierra."
Declarado Monumento Nacional el 6 de noviembre de 2017.
Hasta alli nos dirgimos y nos hicimos estas foticos, con mis compañeras de trabajo: Tere, Dinorah, Belkis y Vivian (con su niña Dayanis).
Es un lugar muy visitado por nacionales y extranjeros.
