Hatuey was a Taíno Chief in the 16th century and is Cuba's first national hero and one of the first fighters against colonialism. In 1511, Diego Velázquez set out from Hispaniola to conquer the island of Cuba to steal gold and indigenous Taíno people as slaves. Hatuey didn't succeed finally and was burned alive by the Spaniards. Before he was burned, a Spanish priest asked Hatuey if he would accept Jesus and go to heaven. Hatuey, thinking a little, asked the religious man if Spaniards went to heaven. The religious man answered yes... The chief then said without further thought that he did not want to go there but to hell so as not to be where they were and where he would not see such cruel people.
The first two PiP's are from the brewery's entrance, the 3rd is a statue somewhere near Trinidad and the last is a sculpture in Baracoa, where he was burned alive.
