Set a little bit outside Santa Clara, the Ché monument is very striking. There is a garden a little behind it honouring fallen revolutionary comrades. The mausoleum underneath the statue is very peaceful, and the small museum about Ché has some really interesting photos of him, and his upbringing.

And, values that are still held in Cuba today. The intricate details to be found all over the statue mirror the life-story of this very clever man who was killed fighting for his beliefs. Far more moving and iconic than the very large statue at the mausoleum.
