Havana

Havana is the capital and major port of the island country of Cuba in the Caribbean.

During the late 17th and early 18th century, Cuba was a colony of Spain. At the time of the Golden Age of Piracy, Havana was a common hangout for pirates, with many infamous pirates having laid anchor in the city, including Edward Kenway. During the early 1700s, the Templar Grand Master Laureano de Torres y Ayala served as governor, and orchestrated Templar involvement in the Caribbean from his mansion within the city. At the same time, the Assassin Order maintained a presence in Havana, running an Assassin bureau headed by Rhona Dinsmore.

During the 18th century, the de Grandpré business sent ships to Havana to import and export goods.

In 2013, it was used as a simulated location created by Abstergo Industries' entertainment branch, for the console stage of their Animus technology.

Trivia
