I’ve been to the site of his execution, the Cerro de las Campanas (hill of the bells) in Querétaro, Mexico. It features a large stature of Benito Juárez and a chapel.

Maximilian should have left when the French did but was persuaded to stay by Mexicans who wanted him.

I have caught a glimpse of his palace near Trieste from the train but haven't been to it. Beautiful setting right by the sea.
