The apartment in which the symbol of the Argentine Cuban revolution, Ernesto "Che" Guevara, which attracts thousands of tourists in the Argentine city of Rosario, was put in sale.
The apartment is located on the second floor of a five-storey building in the center of this city, about 340 km north of the capital, Buenos Aires, which is spacious in bourgeois style and has not changed with time.
The apartment is currently owned by Argentine businessman Francisco Varroquia, who lives in Brazil. Farrukhia intended to transform the place into a cultural center, but this idea did not see the light of day.
Farrukhia told Agence France-Presse that offers to buy the apartment had been received "from several countries", refraining from disclosing the exact price of its sale.
The area of the apartment is 220 square meters, and it contains pictures of "Chi" from various stages of his life, starting in the first months after his birth, all the way to the famous image taken by photographer Alberto Corda, and she became a symbol of the Cuban revolution, in which he appears long-haired and bearded, wearing a military hat Green.
The building is classified as a historical site, and it is considered the main station in the "path of Chi" adopted by the city municipality and includes the sites that marked the first years of the life of Ernesto Guevara.
But visiting the apartment is not open to a wide audience, and only a number of personalities have been made available.
It is not certain that the future owners of the apartment will want to preserve its historical character.
The historian Fabian Bazan, author of "Chigasey", which deals with Guevara's relationship with the city of Rosario, explained that the birth of the Argentine militant in this city was "a coincidence".
The Guevara family, who had been living in the city of Misiones (northeastern Argentina), moved to Rosario with a view to working, while Mother Celia was close to the date of giving birth to Ernesto.
Ernesto was born on June 14, 1928 in this apartment, according to historians, which was commonplace at the time, although no documents confirm this.
Che's biography was long outlawed in Argentina under dictatorial military rule (1976-1983), but this changed with the return of democracy.
Historian Bazan explained, "Rosario then began to restore consideration to Chi with the influence of the municipality, which is being run by socialists." One manifestation of this was that his name was given to libraries, schools, sports clubs in the city, and even on a highway.
