On the ground floor of the monument you’ll find 79 of José Martí’s thoughts engraved in gold, spread out into five halls.
Right in front of the monument there is a 17-meter tall marble statue depicting José Martí sitting, deep in thought.
The memorial was placed in here in 1958, and nowadays is surrounded by 6 pillars representing the old provinces Cuba was divided into, as well as the crest of each one.
