Avenida de Los Presidentes

Avenida de los Presidentes (Calle G), with wide, grassy, tree-lined pedestrian medians, runs perpendicular to Calle 23 and climbs from the Malecon toward Plaza de la Revolucion.

The avenue is named for the statues of Cuban and Latin American presidents that grace its length. (The busts of Tomas Estrada Palma and Jose Miguel Gomez, the first and second presidents of the Cuban republic, were toppled following the Revolution, as they were accused of being "puppets" of the U.S. government.)

Across Presidentes, on the east side, is the headquarters of MINREX (Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores), the Foreign Relations Ministry, taking up two blocks including a beautiful neo-baroque building on the north side of Calzada (Calle 7ma).
