Preserving the past, understanding the present, and imagining the future.

Welcome to CasaCuba, the heart of Cuban American heritage at FIU. As a first-of-its-kind cultural and academic center, CasaCuba brings together history, art, and innovation to celebrate the vibrant contributions of the Cuban community in the U.S. and beyond.

For over six decades, Cuban Americans have enriched the cities they call home, excelling in politics, arts, business, and culture while preserving the spirit of their heritage.

CasaCuba, a proud part of Florida International University, is the first destination of its kind to unite the Cuban American community and share its incredible stories of resilience, triumph, and cultural identity. This is a space to reflect, connect, and envision a future that honors our past.
