Fidel Castro St., Windhoek.

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. This is a list of places, buildings and other things named for Castro.

In Cuba[edit]

Because Castro chose not to create a cult of personality, inside Cuba there are no streets, buildings, institutions or localities named for him. There are no official photos of Castro.[1] In 1959 the Italian sculptor Enzo Gallo Chiapardi made a bust of Castro, but Castro ordered that it be destroyed.[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. The leaders of this country are human beings, not gods."[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.[4]

Outside Cuba[edit]

The only things named in honor of Fidel Castro are located outside Cuba:

Square of Fidel Castro, Moscow.

Por naturaleza, soy hostil a todo lo que pueda parecer un culto a la persona, y usted puede constatar, ya se lo he dicho, que en Cuba no hay una sola escuela, fábrica, hospital o edificio que lleve mi nombre. Ni hay estatuas, ni prácticamente retratos míos. Aquí no se producen retratos oficiales. Es posible que, en alguna oficina, alguien haya puesto una foto mía, pero es una iniciativa personal y en ningún caso se trata de un retrato oficial.
