Audio Guide
This cemetery was a church graveyard until 1882 when the Governor opened it to the general public and renamed it Cemetery of the North. Small, and situated on the city's most valuable land, its importance resides in the many illustrious people that rest here. One of the most visited tombstones is Eva Peron's. The majority of materials used in the construction of tombs between 1880 and 1930 were imported from Paris and Milan, and important sculptural works grace many of the tombs. Every Sunday there are free guided visits at 2:30p.

Interesting Cemetery
An upmarket cemetery for the wealthy of Buenos Aires. Family tomb of Eva Peron is here. Peaceful to walk around if exploring the Recoleta District. Lots of cats, as the locals don't like to kill unwanted kittens. They bring them here where they are fed by some kind hearted people!! Most of the tombs are like small houses with opulent granite and marble facades.
Would you recommend this to a friend?
