Cuban Housing and Architecture

The local town and country people live in what is known as Casa particular (Spanish for "private house") is a phrase meaning private accommodation or private homestays in Cuba, very similar to a bed and breakfast, although it can also take the form of a vacation rental.

Cuba’s architecture - rather like its music - is an eclectic mixture that over time has assimilated various outside influences to create strikingly unique cityscapes which can still be seen today. Some examples are Baroque, Neoclassicism, Art Nouveau and Art Deco, Post Revolution (1959–1999), 21st Century Contemporary Architecture.
