Recoleta Cemetery, located in the eponymous district of Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a significant historic site known for its ornate mausoleums and as the final resting place of many notable Argentines, including former First Lady Eva Perón. The cemetery was established in the early 18th century by the Order of the Recoletos, from which it derives its name. Initially, it served as a public cemetery, but it was later designated for the interment of the city's elite, which is reflected in the grandeur of its funerary monuments. The cemetery spans over 14 acres and contains 4691 vaults, all above ground, many of which have been declared National Historical Monuments by the Argentine government. These vaults showcase a range of architectural styles, including Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Baroque, and Neo-Gothic.
