Che Guevara Mausoleum

Ernesto "Che" Guevara de la Serna's command at the Battle of Santa Clara in 1956 was a watershed moment in Cuba's demise of Fulgencio Batista. Guevara was kidnapped and executed by Bolivia's army in 1967 after being embroiled in a failed revolt there. His body was not discovered until 1997.

The Cuban government erected a bronze statue in Santa Clara to mark the twentieth anniversary of Guevera's death in 1987. Guevera's body was discovered a decade later and placed in a tomb beneath the statue with the bones of six other men who were killed alongside him.

The Che Guevara Mausoleum also includes 19 niches to honor more warriors retrieved from the burial.
