Recoleta Cemetery
In this well-known Buenos Aires landmark, you’ll find beautifully designed and grand tombs for the city’s famous dead, including that of Eva Peron, whose tomb is frequently visited and always full of fresh flowers. The greatest characters from the history of Argentina are buried in Recoleta Cemetery, and the site was declared a National Historic Monument in 1942. You can take a tour of the more famous residents, but perhaps it is better to just explore the maze of alleys that wind between the various mausoleums, many of which feature wonderful architecture, and are anything but morbid. The quality and diversity of art nouveau sculptures make this cemetery an open-air museum that invites walks and serene meditation.
