Guisa ist best known for the battle between Fidel Castro and Batista's
soldiers on November 30, 1958. After
Fidel Castro had sent the commandants Che Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos
with their columns to the west of Cuba, Fidel took the town of Guisa
with his column after a pitched battle. If you
enter the village you will see an armored vehicle which belonged to the
Batista soldiers. From this position, down in the valley the
Batista soldiers shot down three guerillas up on the hill. Behind the Plaza de la Revolucion
up on the hill you can find the graves and a
monument dedicated to the fallen guerillas of Fidel's group.
