Close to the railway tracks, five blocks northwest of Parque Jos茅 Mart铆, is this crenelated blue and white museum, dating from 1933. It's housed in the former headquarters of the Distrito Naval del Sur, and is approached by a wide drive flanked with armaments dating from different eras. It was here in September 1957 that a group of sailors and civilians staged an unsuccessful uprising against the Batista government. The revolt is the central theme of the modest museum.
