Finca Vigía
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Finca Vigía (Spanish for "Lookout Farm") was the home of Ernest Hemingway in San Francisco de Paula, Cuba, and now houses a museum.
The house was built in 1886 on a hill near Havana by Catalan architect Miguel Pascula y Baguer. Hemingway lived in the house from 1939 to 1961. It was at Finca Vigía that he wrote most of The Old Man and the Sea and For Whom the Bell Tolls.
The home is in danger of collapse which prompted the U.S. National Trust for Historic Preservation to list it as one of the 11 most-endangered historic sites, despite being outside the U.S. Also, it is on the World Monuments Fund's biennial list of "100 most endangered sites".
