The Battle of Calimete took place on December 29, 1895, during the Cuban War of Independence, under the joint command of Máximo Gómez, Antonio Maceo, and Serafín Sánchez against Spanish forces led by Emilio Perera. The engagement brought together a Cuban rebel force of 4,000 and represented the convergence of the independence movement's senior leadership in a single operation.
