In 1936 Leon Trotsky and his wife were granted asylum in Mexico. They settled in Coyoacan, on the outskirts of Mexico City, on a peaceful, tree-lined street a few blocks from Casa Azul, Frida Kahlo’s house. Now a museum maintained by a non-profit organization that helps other political dissidents seeking asylum in Mexico, the house is where Trotsky was killed and is buried.
