Translated as "Christ of Havana", this is a statue that is supposed to represent Jesus looking over the city of Havana. I like this statue because it is 167 feet above sea level and can be seen from almost all of the city. In addition, if you stand near the statue you can see a panorama of almost the whole city of Havana.

This museum puts on display the numerous types of currency that Greece has used from 1822 to the present which is about 2000 items. Not only can you see the past types of currency here, but you also get to see how they are made and watermarked. Since this museum is free to attend, I would suggest checking it out and seeing for yourself the history of Greece through currency.

The Bridge of Sighs is one of the numerous bridges that span the rivers that run through Venice. Besides being very spectacular architecturally, this bridge has an interesting history behind it. It's name originates from Lord Byron because this bridge used to connect the prison and interrogation room, known as the Doge's Palace. Prisoners would 'sigh' as they walked across the bridge, thus the name. Today it is not used to transport prisoners, but as a romantic place for lovers and tourists alike.
