Che Guevara Mausoleum, Mausoleum and museum in Santa Clara, Cuba.
The memorial contains a 22-foot bronze statue of Ernesto Guevara and an architectural complex housing the remains of thirty revolutionary fighters.
The location commemorates the December 29, 1958 victory against Batista forces, when Guevara troops derailed a military train carrying weapons and soldiers.
The museum displays Guevara personal items, including his rifle, uniforms, and photographs documenting his revolutionary path through Cuba and South America.
The mausoleum stands on a hill overlooking Santa Clara, with regular bus connections from Havana and guided tours available in multiple languages.
Guevara remains, discovered in Bolivia in 1997 after thirty years of searching, rest in a temperature-controlled crypt beneath the memorial.
