Mausoleo Che Guevara

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mausoleo Che Guevara (Che Guevara Mausoleum) is a mausoleum in Santa Clara, Cuba. It houses the remains of Che Guevara and sixteen of his fellow combatants killed in 1967 during the Bolivia campaign.

Guevara was laid to rest with full military honors on 17 October 1997 after his exhumed remains were returned to Cuba from Bolivia. At the site, there is a museum dedicated to Guevara's life. In another part of the city, there is also a reconstruction of Guevara derailing the train during the Battle of Santa Clara.
