- Short Description
- Matías Ramón Mella Castillo (February 25, 1816 –June 4, 1864), who was most known by his middle name (Ramón), was a Dominican revolutionary, politician, and military general. Mella is regarded as a national hero in the Dominican Republic. Remembered as one of the three founding fathers of the Dominican Republic, the Order of Merit of Duarte, Sánchez and Mella is partially named in his honor.
Like many of his peers, Mella envisioned an independent republic that would be free of all foreign power. A man of loyalty and honor, his dream to establishing and maintaining a free nation would grow in his early years, strengthening his determination to make that dream a reality. He is part of the lengendary trio responsible for shaking Haitian rule in Santo Domingo, along with Juan Pablo Duarte and Francisco del Rosario Sánchez. - Entity Encoding
