CHE GUEVARA'S MONUMENT(AS WITH ALL BUILDINGS/MONUMENTS UNDER REPAIR!!).SANTA CLARA WAS ONE OF THE LOCATIONS TAKEN SIMULTANEOUSLY BY THE REBELS. CHE WAS IN CHARGE HERE AND FIDEL ACROSS EAST AT SANTIAGO.UNDERNEATH THE STATUE IS THE MAUSOLEUM THAT HOUSES THE HEROES KILLED IN THE ACTION AND OF COURSE CHE'S REMAINS THAT WERE FOUND AND BOUGHT BACK FROM BOLIVIA YEARS AFTER HE WAS KILLED THERE. A VERY SOLEMN PLACE AND UNFORTUNATELY NO PHOTOS.
