Houses Of Old Cuba, The Windward Islands. The unique blend of cultural and artistic influences throughout history has made Cuba renowned for its eclectic and diverse architecture, which can be defined as a unique fusion of many architectural styles.
Cuba was colonized by the Spanish in 1511. Led by Spain, for over 400 years, Cuban architecture, is therefore a reflection of this colonial period. This includes the perfect fusion of neoclassical and baroque architectural styles in Cuban design.
After the colonial period, Cuba continued to see various architectural activities during the 20th century. This is mainly due to national prosperity, due to high sugar exports, during the First World War. The Art Deco period is also a notable point of reference for Cuban architecture, before the turn of the century.
In modern times, Cuban architecture is continuously praised by historians and tourists.
