A stroll around La Recoleta Cemetary

What covers 5 city blocks has fabulous architecture is both new and old and almost creepy? La Recoleta Cemetery. Somewhere in here is Evita Peron. But all that concrete and the chilly weather and the dead bodies made it even colder so we didn't spend all that much time in here.
An old rusted gate to a crypt

Very extensive stone work

The broken glass makes it extra creepy

Several of the doors had the same motif


The same doors from a distance

The broken glass makes it more poignant

A really large family crypt

 

the most beautiful and extensive one in the whole Cemetery
Good light

Pyramid

Fine workmanship
