| Recoleta Cemetery is an example of great and different architectural styles; many leaders of the Argentinean history are buried there, between exquisite statues, streets and works of art that seem to struggle between them for unique marvel and beauty. This makes the cemetery become a special walk for tourists, since the fact that it is a cementery does not affect the freshness of this kind of an outdoors art gallery. The burial chamber of Eva Peron is the most visited site of the Recoleta Cemetery these days due to the big number of tourists Buenos Aires is receiving. The crypt was made in an art deco style, with a bronze door craftily marked with leaves and flowers, fitted in pilasters and an exquisite ornamental front. A lighted labourer symbolizes eternal life. ~All About Argentina |
