Origninally dropped off at the Recoleta Cemetery *
Coin 5 was dropped of in Argentina during our year long world travels. We plan on dropping off a coin in many of the 14 countries we are visiting.
Recoleta Cemetery: This cemetery, which in times of the recoletos friars was a fruit and vegetable garden, in 1822 was turned into the city's first public cemetery. It is nowadays known worldwide by its sculptures and the lovely architectonic details of its mausoleums.
Since the upper classes arrived to Recoleta after the 1871 yellow fever epidemic, until the development of private cemeteries in the north of the city, the remains of the men and women of the most powerful families of Buenos Aires were kept here.
To the right of the entrance there is a chapel with an image of Christ made in a single marble piece by Italian sculpture Giulio Monteverde, which was brought from Europe in 1887. The inner alleys are wide as avenues and the place is huge. It is advisable to count with plenty of time in order to cover it and if possible with a guide, so as not to miss any details or historic curiosities.
You will find on this Cemetery the Duarte's Family mausoleum, where the Eva Peron's remains rest in peace.
