Among the latter was the Moderno, considered the first Art Deco cinema in the country. There were also the Dora and Atlas movie theaters, which, like the first one, have long since ceased to be what they once were and are barely surviving, one better than the other, as is the case with many other once-beautiful buildings in the area.<\/p>\n<p>Toyo was also home to one of the two police stations on the Diez de Octubre Causeway; like the other, it was converted into a school. And, as a historical curiosity, in a building of its well-known knife lived the then sergeant Fulgencio Batista in 1933, when he would jump to fame to become the strong man of the Army and future dictator of Cuba.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_310912\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-310912\" style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo_Otmaro_2024-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-310912\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo_Otmaro_2024-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1140\" height=\"815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo_Otmaro_2024-1.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo_Otmaro_2024-1-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo_Otmaro_2024-1-1024x732.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo_Otmaro_2024-1-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo_Otmaro_2024-1-120x86.jpg 120w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo_Otmaro_2024-1-350x250.jpg 350w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo_Otmaro_2024-1-750x536.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-310912\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Building where Fulgencio Batista lived, in the Esquina de Toyo area.

If anything, it is a vague shadow of its past, diminished by the crisis and neglect, by the constructive ruin and dirt. It has not lost, however, its place in the collective memory of Havana&#8217;s inhabitants, nor has it lost its daily bustle, its constant traffic of pedestrians and vehicles moving in different directions.<\/p>\n<p>For those who move between La V\u00edbora, La Virgen del Camino and downtown Havana, and also to and from other parts of the city, the Esquina de Toyo is a must, a fundamental node, accompanied by the everlasting transportation crisis and the nostalgia of its glory years. This is how Otmaro Rodr\u00edguez shows it to us, in his usual Sunday photographic tour.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_310911\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-310911\" style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo3_Otmaro_2024-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-310911 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo3_Otmaro_2024-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1140\" height=\"815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo3_Otmaro_2024-1.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo3_Otmaro_2024-1-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo3_Otmaro_2024-1-1024x732.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo3_Otmaro_2024-1-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo3_Otmaro_2024-1-120x86.jpg 120w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo3_Otmaro_2024-1-350x250.jpg 350w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Esquina-de-Toyo3_Otmaro_2024-1-750x536.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-310911\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Area of the famous Esquina de Toyo in Havana.
