The Recoleta Cemetery
The Recoleta Cemetery, located in the neighborhood of the same name in Buenos Aires, has origins linked to an old convent. Built in 1822, it became the city's first public cemetery, designed by French engineer Próspero Catelin. Over the years, the site has stood out for its impressive mausoleums, belonging to important figures in Argentine history. The cemetery is famous for its architecture and the diversity of buried figures, such as Eva Perón. In addition to notable stories, such as those of Liliana Crociati and David Alleno, the place is also associated with legends and mysteries, including the nocturnal presence of ghosts. Rufina Cambaceres, found dead on her birthday, and events such as the politician who cut off Juan Duarte's head are part of the intriguing narratives. The Recoleta Cemetery is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Buenos Aires.
