Correct & Correct. 

 Pipila  is the nickname of a local hero of the city of Guanajuato in Mexico. His real name was Juan José de los Reyes Martínez Amaro (1782–1863) Pípila, became famous for an act of heroism near the very beginning of the Mexican War of Independence on 28 September 1810. With a long, flat stone tied to his back to protect him from the muskets of the Spanish troops, Pípila carried tar and a torch to the door of the Alhóndiga and set it on fire. The insurgents–who far outnumbered the Spanish in the warehouse–stormed inside and killed all the soldiers and the civil Spanish refugees.

Easy ride up to the monument

Correct

 Without funishings and turned into a one room museum - which is small and OK but not impressive - and 5 room art gallery full of gloomy/ugly paintings it isn't nice. The others mansions and grounds are nice.
