MIAMI, United States. — The death of Fidel Castro in 2016 and the withdrawal of Raúl Castro to the domains of the Second Eastern Front would have left the old mansions that both dictators had in oblivion.
Is about Zero pointowned by Fidel Castro and his family, and the old La Nina farm, which for decades was occupied by his brother Raúl.
Images taken last June at the zone where both residences are located (Playa, Havana) and published on the YouTube channel Driving through Cuba They show the abandonment and the scarce presence of security agents that the perimeter of these properties exhibits, bunkers that, at the time, no one could approach.
Little more than a kilometer separates the farms that the Castro bosses occupied. Raúl’s, located further north, occupies the center of a huge lot that includes swimming pools, a ranchón, ball field and tennis and racquetball courts, as Cuban researcher Luis Domínguez, manager of the blog, has pointed out on several occasions. Cuba uncovered.
Raúl Castro’s property includes greenhouses for crops that, at the time, guaranteed the sustenance of the Army General.
Next to the former residence of Raúl Castro is the Comandante Arides Estévez Superior Military School.
Located on an even larger space, Fidel Castro’s estate remains home to several direct relatives of the late dictator, including his wife, Dalia Soto del Valle, and some of their children. There, the jewel in the crown is Punto Cero, a mansion located just over 300 meters from Calle 11B, one of the access roads to enter the place.
The landscape in recent years has changed radically in the vicinity of Punto Cero and La Nina, devoid of the special surveillance they once had. Hidden among the undergrowth and vegetation of the area, today it is possible to walk the perimeter of these properties.
According to the Cuban writer Juan Juan Almeida, son of the late Commander of the Revolution Juan Almeida Bosque, for approximately two years the maximum security devices at Punto Cero have been dismantled and several areas of the farm show notable deterioration.
