Overview

  • Step through the monumental gates of La Recoleta Cemetery and enter a frozen microcosm of Argentine high society. This is not merely a burial ground; it is a spectacular, fiercely competitive city of the dead where the nation's elite continued their rivalries in marble and bronze. From the heavily fortified bank-vault tomb of Eva Perón to the macabre journey of a decapitated general, and the heartbreaking bronze folds of a young bride's dress, you will uncover the grandiose, visually striking, and often dark history of Argentina's most powerful figures.
