Stone Angel

La Recoleta is Buenos Aires most famous cemetery. It’s like a small city of remarkable mausoleums, statues and graves enclosed within high brick walls, in the trendy neighbourhood of Recoleta. Only the richest and most famous of Argentina’s dead are buried here. For example, the remains of Evita Peron are interred in Recoleta but her husband, Juan Peron (former president of Argentina) rests in Chacarita cemetery. The legend is that the cost of being buried in Recoleta is more expensive than living the good life in Buenos Aires.
