Tucked away on Duval Street, the San Carlos Institute is a charming Cuban heritage gem in Key West filled with history, stunning architecture, and warm hospitality.
"Cuban History The San Carlos Institute was founded in 1871 by Cuban exiles who came to Key West to campaign for Cuba's freedom from Spain . The original building was elsewhere and burned to the ground. The present building was erected in 1890. The interior was restored recently and the hand painted floor tiles and those in the main staircase area are works of art in themselves. The museum has exhibits and displays of pictures and historical articles of Cuban life in the 19th century and up until today. Stand outside and look at all the angles and balconies of this building. It's a real piece of architectural history there in Key West. Admission is free; the museum is open from Friday - Sunday from 12 - 6."
