Few cities can stir the imagination like Cuba's capital, Havana, a city preserved by forts and citadels, a five-mile seawall, and an imposed embargo which held back the excesses of the 20th century for over 50 years.
A 200-year-old letter in which the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte gave the order to blow up Kremlin citadel in Moscow has been sold at auction for almost 200,000 dollars.
Even today, 400 years after the fall of the citadel, nature is still battling with the remaining few farmers struggling to eke out an existence from the land.
But if indeed there was a stable high on this mountain, the question still remains, how could these horses have made their way 300 meters to the top of the citadel?
