Ernest Hemingway’s Cuba house, Finca Vigia (“lookout farm”), was built in 1886 by Catalan architect Miguel Pascual y Baguer on a hill about fifteen miles east of Havana. Located in the small working-class town of San Francisco de Paula. This was the writer’s residence from mid 1939 to 1960 – purchased in 1940 for a cost of $12,500. There, Hemingway wrote two of his most celebrated novels: For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Old Man and the Sea.
