As Havana expanded during the 1930s and 1940s, Marianao became a suburb of the city. A famous landmark is the monument built to honor Carlos Juan Finlay, a doctor who helped eradicate yellow fever in Cuba in the 19th century. It is shaped like a syringe. The monument is at the junction of Calles 100 and 31, close to several major hospitals. Marianao is home to the famous Tropicana Club and was home to the Oriental Park Racetrack. In 1928 Chicagoan gangster Al Capone opened a pool hall near the racetrack, but it closed not long after. One of the most notable foods made in Marianao is "Pollo A La Barbacoa"
