"A stroll through Recoleta Cemetery in the heart of Buenos Aires is like leafing through the history of Argentina--official and unofficial. Inside its walls rest the heroines, scoundrels, patriots, popular saints, despots, eminent citizens, playboys, famous beauties, tycoons, and ne'er-do-wells of whom history books and gossip are made....They lie in their majestic tombs, in a miniature city not so unlike the one outside its walls, in silent, elegant admonition of those who would forget them." (AMERICAS) This article examines the long and colorful history of Argentina's first public cemetery.
