Finca Vigía, located in Havana, Cuba, is a historical estate famously known as the former residence of the renowned American writer Ernest Hemingway. The property, whose name translates to "Lookout Farm," was Hemingway's home from 1939 until 1960. The house is perched on a hill in the small town of San Francisco de Paula, offering picturesque views of the surrounding landscape. It was here that Hemingway wrote some of his most significant works, including "The Old Man and the Sea," "For Whom the Bell Tolls," and "A Moveable Feast." Today, Finca Vigía has been meticulously preserved as a museum, providing visitors with a glimpse into the life and times of the literary giant, complete with original furnishings, personal belongings, and the author's extensive collection of books.
