List of things named after Fidel Castro

Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz (August 13, 1926 – November 25, 2016) was the leader of Cuba from 1959 to 2006.

He led the Cuban Revolution which overthrew the government of Fulgencio Batista.

Because Castro chose not to create a cult of personality, inside Cuba there are no streets, buildings, institutions or localities named for him.

[2] In a speech on the International Workers' Day of 2003, Castro noted: "There is no cult of personality around any living revolutionary, in the form of statues, official photographs, or the names of streets or institutions.

"[3] Following Fidel Castro's death, the Cuban government announced that it would be passing a law prohibiting the naming of "institutions, streets, parks or other public sites, or erecting busts, statues or other forms of tribute" in honor of the late Cuban leader in keeping with his wishes to prevent the development of a cult of personality.
