La Recoleta Cemetery

Taking a stroll around the first cemetery built in Buenos Aires, La Recoleta Cemetery- it's like walking down Madison Avenue. Tombs like shop window displays except the coffins are on show!


Presidents, Generals, Poets, Actors, Politicians, Physicians and those who were wealthy enough to afford such a fancy resting place.


Some beautiful architectural designs, some well maintained and others that have been left to decay.
