La Recoleta Cemetery - More Photos From Buenos Aires

Cementerio de la Recoleta is one of the most magical places in Buenos Aires. This cemetery is like a little city full of different architectural styles, and the wealthy of Buenos Aires have been buried here since the early 1800's. I love visiting old cemeteries and imagining the lives of long-dead strangers from the names, dates and epitaphs on their graves. But cemeteries full of statues and mausoleums - like the ones here in Buenos Aires or in New Orleans - I find interesting because of the experience. It's urban architecture on a smaller scale.
