The Revolution Square Major General Ignacio Agramonte Loynaz, an institution belonging to the Office of the Historian of Camagüey city, was officially inaugurated on January 31st, 1998; however, it had already opened a few years ago.

On July 26th, 1989, in the context of the XXXVI anniversary of the assault on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes barracks, Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro gave a commemorative speech and also foresaw the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Sometime later, on December 23th, 1991, the Monumental Sculptural Complex of Ignacio Agramonte was revealed in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of his birth.

Since its official inauguration, the square has become the most important meeting place in the city, but it is also a place to transmit history. There the remains of the Commander in Chief rested, in the Jimaguayú room, and the evening of honor was held. In addition, the Oath of the Revolution Concept of Commander Fidel Castro was signed.

The square has two main rooms: the Nicolás Guillén and the Jimaguayú room.

In the Nicolás Guillén room, most of the important protocol events that take place in the territory are held, such as signatures of codes of ethics and awards. Among its main artistic and symbolic attractions there is a Sculptural Mural by Plastic Artist Roberto Estrada.

Nowadays, in the Jimaguayú room, it is exhibited an audiovisual material that collects the link of the Commander in Chief with the land of Agramonte, as well as the pedestal where his ashes rested on his way to the Santa Ifigenia Cemetery.

In its vicinity it is located the Fountain of the Latin American Flags, which has 21 poles and constitutes a representation of the unity among the Latin American peoples.

As a representative element, the Monumental Sculpture Complex to El Mayor is erected, which is more than 26 meters high and in it Ignacio Agramonte is represented along with his feared cavalry.
