Review:
On the second floor of this neoclassical building, Entre Rios 480, one of the 20th century's most divisive figures was born. It is the birthplace of Che Guevara, born Ernesto. Che was the oldest of five and studied to be a physician. It was while he was traveling around Latin America as a medical student that he became outraged at the poverty he saw. He blamed capitalism and became a Marxist revolutionary. He fought with Fidel Castro during the Cuban revolution and rose to second in command of that country. He was killed in Bolivia by the CIA. There is no plaque on the building where he was born.
