About
The Che Guevara Mausoleum is a memorial and final resting place for the revolutionary Che Guevara and 29 of his fellow combatants. It is also known as the Memorial Che Guevara, the Conjunto Escultórico Comandante Ernesto Che Guevara, and the Mausoleo del Che Guevara.
The monument stands on the Plaza de la Revolución in Santa Clara, the city named in the records as the site. Visitors who come for the memorial itself will find a place built around the remains of Guevara and his companions, set within a public square.
What you will find
Alongside the tomb, the site includes a museum dedicated to Guevara's life and to the Cuban Revolution. It suits visitors who want more context on the figure and the events that the memorial commemorates, and who would rather spend time reading and looking than simply passing through.
Planning a visit
- Address: Plaza de la Revolución, Santa Clara
- Phone: +53 42 205 878
- Kind of visit: a memorial and museum, best approached at a steady pace
Because the mausoleum is a commemorative site in a public square, it makes sense to allow time both for the monument and for the museum. If you are interested in the wider story, the city itself is a reasonable base for exploring the place where the memorial was made.
