Hacienda San Jacinto

Hacienda San Jacinto, National monument in Tipitapa, Nicaragua.

Hacienda San Jacinto is a colonial-era hacienda house in the Llanos de Ostócal, east of Tipitapa, now a historical museum and national memorial. Its rooms display the weapons, paintings and photographs of the 14 September 1856 Battle of San Jacinto, and the west room holds Luis Vergara Ahumada's 1962 painting La pedrada de Andrés Castro Estrada.

The battle of San Jacinto was fought here on 14 September 1856: 160 men of the Nicaraguan Ejército del Septentrión under Colonel José Dolores Estrada Vado defeated 300 filibusters of William Walker led by his lieutenant Byron Cole. It is the only battle in the world won thanks to a horse stampede, caused by a rear attack ordered by Estrada. The house later became a national historical monument and memorial.

The west room holds La pedrada de Andrés Castro Estrada, painted in 1962 by the Chilean Luis Vergara Ahumada, showing Castro striking a filibuster inside the wooden corral after leaping the stone fence. The hacienda appeared on the reverse of 10-córdoba series C notes in 1972, and since 2007 it is on the front of the 10-córdoba note.

Visitors can enter the property during daylight hours to explore exhibitions spread across multiple rooms. It helps to allow time to fully appreciate all the displays and the surrounding architecture of the historical building.

Inside the building are the remains of a person who played a role in the defense history of this location, preserved in a special vessel. This feature makes the place both a historical monument and a personal memorial.
