Guantanamo City is a municipality located in the province of Guantanamo in Cuba. It is the capital of the Guantanamo province and is situated on the southeastern coast of the island. The city is known for being the site of the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, which is a United States military base that has been leased to the U.S. since 1903.
The Guantanamo Bay Naval Base gained significant international attention as it houses the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, a controversial detention facility operated by the United States. The detention camp has been criticized for the treatment of detainees and the use of enhanced interrogation techniques in the past.
Aside from its association with the naval base and detention camp, Guantanamo City has a population of around 216,000 people and offers various amenities such as schools, hospitals, and recreational facilities. The city's economy relies heavily on the naval base and related activities, including the provision of goods and services to the military personnel stationed there.
