Anchored by the tiny Parroquia de Santa Catalina de Riccis (1863), Parque Martí has benefited from a substantial facelift of late: a lick of paint, information boards and a clutch of interesting new shops, restaurants and entertainment nooks, strung along vibrant boulevards. Sitting timelessly amid the action is a seated statue of 'El Maestro' from whom the square takes its name.
