Striking photos of Obama's trip to the revolutionary heart of Cuba
On Sunday, President Barack Obama became the first sitting president since 1928 to travel to Cuba.
After a decades-long freeze between the two nations following the rise of the Castro regime in the early 1960s, Obama announced the normalization of relations between the US and Cuba in late 2014.
And after 14 months since, the president, accompanied by a delegation of dignitaries and business representatives set foot on the island, meeting with Cuban President Fidel Castro for bilateral talks.
Obama's trip has already sparked a bit of controversy. While paying tribute to Jose Mari, a respected Cuban writer, Obama was photographed in front of the large mural of revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara.
