Monument to the Soldier
Monumento al Soldado (Av. Bolívar, Barrio Santo Domingo, Managua) — This statue is one of the city’s few remaining monuments to the first Sandinista era and it shows a muscular, shirtless soldier, with a Russian rifle in his raised arm and a pick ax in the other. The plaque at its base summarizes the inspiration for its design: “Only workers and campesinos will march to the end.”
