Ciudad de los Muertos - El Cementerio de Recoleta





















These are all photos from the Recoleta Cemetary, which has got to be one of the top 5 coolest things I´ve seen in Buenos Aires. It doesn´t seem that big from the outside, about a city block of high old walls with the occasional cross or stone angel peeking up from over the top, but once you enter it is literally and metaphorically a complete otehr world, and one that doesn´t seem liek it will ever end. I definitely got more lost there than I have in the rest of Buenos Aires, but all for the better. Highlights include the mosuleums of Evita and Domingo Sarmiento.
