The monument to Che Guevara - including his final resting place together with 30+ comrades who also died in Bolivia in 1967.
The monument itself was built in the 1980's though it was only in 1997 that Bolivia agreed to repatriate the remains of Che and other comrades to Bolivia. The eternal flame was lit on the day of the internment by Fidel Castro. The room where the remains are actually interned is underneath the monument in a solemn setting. The place opposite holds a museum detailing the life of Che from the wild days of his youth which saw him galavanting and having fun around South America to the successes of the Cuban Revolution and the driving force that drew him back to revolution in Africa and ultimately to Bolivia in the mid to late 1960's.

The museum dedicated to Guevara's life. There is also a reconstruction of Guevara derailing the train during the Battle of Santa Clara.

The last letter to Fidel......
Untill now - nobody is convinced who really wrote this letter : Ché - the CIA or Fidel himself?
Anyhow a political statement

The bulldozer stopped the train of Batista - fully loaded with weapons to beat the army of Fidel in the east.
Remarkable that you have to pay a fee - visiting this public place/square !

End of the 50's - Che Guevara and his troops stopped a train - fully loaded with wapons - and send by Batista himself.
The civil war was over.
