Slavery Ended Completely In 1886
Cuba finally put an end to its own slave trade in 1867, long after the slave trade in other parts of the Atlantic had ended. Up until the year 1880, it was legal to own people as chattel slaves.

As a social institution, slavery couldn’t be done away with until chattel slavery was done away with first. Cuba was one of the few places in the Western Hemisphere that got rid of slavery for good. This happened in 1886 after a royal order from Spain.
UNESCO World Heritage Sites
The places that are on the UNESCO World Heritage List are just as diverse in terms of nature and culture as the rest of the country. Nine of its sites are on the World Heritage List, which shouldn’t be a surprise.
UNESCO World Heritage Sites
For a place to be considered for the list of World Heritage Sites, it must “be of outstanding universal value and have international significance.” It must also “go beyond national borders and be of interest to all people, both now and in the future,” as well as “have international significance.” Cuba has done a good job keeping its history, culture, and general feel over the years. A UNESCO World Heritage Site is a piece of history that can be found in Old Havana.
