4. Point Udall

4.5 based on 760 reviews
This rocky promontory, the easternmost point in the United States, juts into the Caribbean Sea and features "The Castle," a huge mansion perched atop the cliffs and which resembles India's Taj Mahal and a Moorish mosque.

Bucket list to watch the sunrise at Point Udall. A good amount of people show up to watch the sunrise, so I'd suggest to get there a bit earlier than sunrise to secure a great spot. Although, it's hard to miss it any place you sit/stand. The millennium monument is a great little piece of history too.

Unique experience, would be better for scuba divers but still neat to see. Lots of interesting sculptures. Tour was with Dive Grenada who picked us up at resort, provided good snorkeling equipment, comfortable boat ride out, and guidance around sculptures.

The Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration is located on Av Las Carreras in the center of the city. It is the image most often associated with the city. I took a taxi from the Caribe Bus Station to visit this area. It takes an hour to visit this attraction as there are many steps, and external sculptures surrounding the site. We walked around the park and visited the external structures before climbing the steps to the main monument. On the north western section of the park is a monument to the Eagles Cibaeñas baseball team. To the right, is another sculpture of three eagles. If you walk in an easterly direction along the path, there are bronze sculptures of what is known as "Santiago traditions". They include a horse and coach with Julio Alberto Hernández (composer), Ercilia Pepín (teacher) and Tomas Morel (Bishop). The other sculptures relate to local traditions e.g. carnival costumes (Lechón Pepinero), ballet, dancing and singing. Follow the path in a southerly direction, along Daniel Espinal, and you will see the impressive equestrian monument dedicated to General Gregorio Luperon (1839-1897). It was on August 16, 1863, a rebel group led by Luperón and Santiago Rodríguez attacked the hill of Capotillo in the Dajabón province, and raised the Dominican flag. This was known as the Grito de Capotillo (Cry of Capotillo), and was the beginning of the two year "Restoration War" which resulted in Dominican independence from Spain. Luperon was the 20th President of the DR, between 1879-80. The 16th August is celebrated annually by Dominicans as their "restoration of independence" day. If you continue south on the path, you will see the Plaza de la Informacion. There are three sculptures in this area. The first is Ñico Lora shown with accordion in hand. He was a famous folk musician and considered one of the fathers of merengue. Next is Manuel del Cabral, who sits on a bench reading a newspaper. He was a poet and writer. The last sculpture is of Yoryi Morel, a painter, who stands with palette in hand. After visiting this plaza, walk up the stairs toward the main monument. The monument was built between 1944-1953, and was intended to celebrate the centenary of independence from Haiti in 1944. It was named, Trujillo’s Monument to Peace, in honour of the president. In 1961, on the death of Trujillo, the monument was renamed, "Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration", to honour the heroes of the 1863-65 war. Extensive renovations were done in 2007, when the 144th anniversary of the start of the war was celebrated, and the many bronze sculptures of former generals and presidents added. The 70 meter high tower is the highlight of the attraction, and the second floor of the building has a library and terrace offering great views of the city. This area was unfortunately closed when I visited. If you are interested in the "Restoration War", another monument can be found in Dajabon, known as the "Monument to the Grito de Capotillo".

Set a little bit outside Santa Clara, the Ché monument is very striking. There is a garden a little behind it honouring fallen revolutionary comrades. The mausoleum underneath the statue is very peaceful, and the small museum about Ché has some really interesting photos of him, and his upbringing.

This is along the way from the tar pit back towards PoS where you stop to take the boat on the swamp tour for the birds. You need about half an hour here. Key things to note - don't touch the flowers given this is a holy area within the initial gate, take off the shoes if you want to enter the temple, and bring some bread or crackers to feed the fish that come up to the shoreline to the right side of the temple (right side when facing it upon entering).

And, values that are still held in Cuba today. The intricate details to be found all over the statue mirror the life-story of this very clever man who was killed fighting for his beliefs. Far more moving and iconic than the very large statue at the mausoleum.
