Lonely Planet review for Monumento a Rubén Darío

On the lake side of Plaza de la República, the Monumento a Rubén Darío was recently refurbished after the original 1933 statue fell into graffitied disrepair. A group of artists did a guerrilla installation, veiling the city's shame from public view and demanding poetic justice. In 1998 the cash-strapped government bowed to public opinion and, with Texaco Oil's help, restored the likeness of Nicaragua's favorite son. Toward the lake is the oblong Teatro Nacional Rubén Darío.
