Gallery of Heroes and Martyrs
Galería de Héroes y Mártires
A small memorial gallery run by an association of martyrs’ mothers, displaying photos and belongings of young people who died during the revolution.
The gallery was founded by a local association of martyrs’ mothers. Its walls are hung with photographs of young people who died in the struggle against the Somoza dictatorship and in the civil war of the 1980s, alongside their clothing, weapons and letters. Sometimes the mothers themselves give guided tours in Spanish.
The gallery is small, but it offers valuable insight into the modern history of Estelí and Nicaragua. Admission is free or by donation, and opening hours are not fixed. It is located near the central park.
