ARGENTINA - Buenos Aires
Recoleta - Cemetery
The cemetery was created in 1822 and is among the oldest in the city. You can spend hours here wandering the grounds that cover 4 city blocks, full of tombs adorned with works by local and international sculptors. More than 6,500 mausoleums form an architectural free-for-all, including Greek temples and pyramids. The most popular site is the tomb of Eva "Evita" Perón, which is always heaped with flowers and letters from fans. Many other rich or famous Argentines are buried here as well, including a number of Argentine presidents.
