Recoleta Cemetery


This is a famous cemetery located in the exclusive Recoleta neighbourhood of Buenos Aires. It houses graves of some of the most influential and important Argentinians, including several presidents, scientists or just very wealthy people. Eva Perón and Raúl Alfonsín are buried here. The entire cemetery is laid out in sections like city blocks with wide, tree-lined main walkways branching into narrower ones filled with mausoleums. Each one bears the family name etched into the facade with the death date but no birth date.
