Paulina Pedrosa was one of the great women patriots of Cuba. After an attempt on the life of Jose Marti, the Pedrosa House became his refuge.
Whenever Marti stayed here the flag of the budding Republic of cuba fluttered outside. Evenings, the Cubans formed groups outisde the little house to watch the Apostle of Freedom through the windows. Marti's room remained lighted until late at night and at times, in the silence, the scratching of his pen could be heard. An intruder would have found Ruperto, Paulina's husband, on guard duty.
