La Recoleta Cemetery is a necropolis of extraordinary artistry, where Buenos Aires' elite are interred in elaborate marble mausoleums adorned with statues and stained glass. The cemetery is a maze of narrow lanes lined with family vaults, each more ornate than the last. The most visited tomb is that of Eva Perón, marked by a simple plaque amid the grandeur. Visitors can wander for hours, discovering the architectural styles and stories of Argentina's historical figures, from presidents to artists.
