Casa y Museo del General Augusto César Sandino
About This Museum
You might not expect the home of Nicaragua's most legendary revolutionary to be a modest, brightly colored house on a quiet street, but that's exactly what makes this place so compelling. Stepping inside feels like traveling back in time, as the museum meticulously preserves the environment where Sandino spent his formative years. Personal artifacts, from his signature hat to handwritten letters, sit alongside historical photographs and weaponry from the Constitutionalist War. It’s an intimate and surprisingly powerful look at the man behind the myth.
Collection Highlights
Look for his iconic sombrero and personal sidearm, which instantly connect you to his image. The collection of manifestos and personal correspondence provides a raw, unfiltered glimpse into his thoughts and political evolution.
