Recoleta Cemetery, located in the eponymous district of Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a significant historic site known for its ornate mausoleums and as the final resting place of many notable Argentines, including former First Lady Eva Perón. The cemetery was established in the early 18th century by the Order of the Recoletos, from which it derives its name. Initially, it served as a public cemetery, but it was later designated for the interment of the city's elite, which is reflected in the grandeur of its funerary monuments. The cemetery spans over 14 acres and contains 4691 vaults, all above ground, many of which have been declared National Historical Monuments by the Argentine government. These vaults showcase a range of architectural styles, including Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Baroque, and Neo-Gothic. One of the most visited graves in Recoleta Cemetery is that of Eva Perón, also known as Evita. Her tomb, located in the Duarte family's mausoleum, draws numerous visitors due to her enduring legacy in Argentine politics and culture. Recoleta Cemetery is not merely a graveyard but an open-air museum, a testament to the city's architectural and cultural history. Its winding paths are lined with marble statues, tall Greek columns, intricately carved scrollwork, and imposing mausoleums that tell the story of Buenos Aires' past. The cemetery's location in the upscale Recoleta district of Buenos Aires ensures easy accessibility for visitors. It is in close proximity to other notable sites, including the Basilica of Our Lady of Pilar and the Recoleta Cultural Centre, making it an integral part of any city tour. Providing a serene yet poignant exploration of Argentina's history and the legacies of its people, Recoleta Cemetery is an important cultural landmark in Buenos Aires.
