Lonely Planet review for Galería de Héroes y Mártires

Be sure to stop by the Galería de Héroes y Mártires, devoted to fallen revolutionaries, with walls of faded photos and personal effects, from clothing to weaponry, on display.

There are special exhibits (with a bit of signage in English) about Leonel Rugama Rugama, the warrior-poet whose last line was his best: when he and Carlos Fonseca were surrounded by 300 National Guard, with tanks and planes, they told him to surrender. 'Surrender, your mother!' he famously replied, which is one, quite literally, for the history books.
