Museum of the Slave Route preserves African legacy | Cuba News Headlines. Cuban Daily News
The Museum of the Slave Route, located in Matanzas, city 100 km east of Havana, is an institution created by local authorities to preserve the contributions of the African continent to our country.
Declared a National Monument of the Republic in 1978, the Castle of San Severino, an 18th-century Spanish military fort, houses the Museum, a UNESCO project that has been developed since 1994.

I have been following the Amistads visit to Cuba, but I have only now become aware of the Museum of the Slave Route.
Thanks.
