Estelí Murals
Murales de Estelí
Vivid murals cover the streets of the city centre, telling the story of the Sandinista revolution, social movements and local culture.
Estelí suffered heavily in the 1978–1979 revolution. Since then, artists and community groups have painted many murals on its walls, covering themes such as revolutionary history, women and farmers, the environment and contemporary life, and new street art continues to appear.
The murals are concentrated around the central park and along several main streets, and some schools and cultural centres also have large works on their exterior walls. You can explore on foot by yourself, or join a walking tour run by local organisations to learn the stories behind them.
