Havana (La Habana) is the capital and largest city of Cuba, home to approximately 2.1 million residents. It operates on Cuba Standard Time (CST, UTC-5) in winter and Cuba Daylight Time (CDT, UTC-4) in summer — an unusual choice given that Cuba has operated a socialist planned economy since the 1959 revolution. Old Havana (Habana Vieja) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, comprising one of the best-preserved Spanish colonial urban centres in the Americas — its Baroque and neoclassical buildings, plazas, and fortifications paint a vivid picture of the city's 16th–19th century golden age as a hub of the Spanish Empire's New World trade. The vintage American cars (pre-1960 imports) that still fill Havana's streets have become one of the city's most iconic images, a result of the US trade embargo imposed in 1962. Cuba's healthcare and education systems are remarkably advanced for a developing country, and Havana's medical schools attract students from across Latin America and Africa.
