From the Wayfind guide

A tiny park on East 8th Avenue that may be the only place in the United States where you can stand on land deeded to the Republic of Cuba. Jose Marti stayed at Paulina Pedroso's boarding house on this site while raising money among Ybor's cigar workers; in 1956 the land was deeded to Cuba as a memorial, accepted by the Batista government and certified through the U.S. consulate in Havana.
