How has the world reacted?
Latin American leaders have been quick to pay tribute.
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said Castro was a "great friend" of Mexico, while to El Salvador's President Salvador Sanchez Ceren he was an "eternal companion".
Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro said "revolutionaries of the world must follow his legacy".
The Soviet Union's last leader Mikhail Gorbachev said: "Fidel stood up and strengthened his country during the harshest American blockade, when there was colossal pressure on him".
Vladimir Putin described him as a "reliable and sincere friend" of Russia.
For French President Francois Hollande Castro embodied Cuba's revolution in both its "hopes" and its later "disappointments".
In Miami, where there is a large Cuban community, there have been celebrations in some parts of the city, with people banging pots and cheering.
A Cuban exile group, the Cuban Democratic Directorate, said Castro left "legacy of intolerance" and had set up a "vicious totalitarian regime".
Jeremy Corbyn has hailed Fidel Castro as a “champion of social justice”, following the announcement of the former Cuban leader's death.
Mr Corbyn said: "Fidel Castro's death marks the passing of a huge figure of modern history, national independence and 20th century socialism.
"From building a world class health and education system, to Cuba's record of international solidarity abroad, Castro's achievements were many.
Mr Corbyn’s praise will come as no surprise because he is a long-standing supporter of the Cuba Solidarity Campaign, but will be controversial nonetheless.
On a visit to Oxford, Mr Corbyn also spoke of the “stories of his heroism while living in Mexico in exile and then the boat to Cuba, the march to Havana and the revolution in 1959”.

ksavezi.President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday greeted the news that Fidel Castro had died by denouncing Cuba’s longtime leader as a “brutal dictator” with a legacy of bloodshed. Trump, who vowed to help the island nation’s people achieve freedom and prosperity, did not explicitly repeat campaign-trail promises to roll back President Obama’s historic outreach to the island nation.
The entrepreneur’s reaction could scarcely have been more different than the sitting commander in chief’s response. Obama declared that now was the time to “extend a hand of friendship to the Cuban people” and largely sanitized deep Cold War-era criticisms of Castro’s record on human rights and economic freedom.
“We know that this moment fills Cubans — in Cuba and in the United States — with powerful emotions, recalling the countless ways in which Fidel Castro altered the course of individual lives, families, and of the Cuban nation,” the president said. “History will record and judge the enormous impact of this singular figure on the people and world around him.”
Trump, whose initial reaction to the news was the four-word tweet “Fidel Castro is dead!” took a far sharper tone in a written statement later issued by his transition team.
“Today, the world marks the passing of a brutal dictator who oppressed his own people for nearly six decades,” Trump said. “Fidel Castro’s legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights.”
