Juan Antonio Buschiazzo et al, Cementerio de la Recoleta, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1822-Present
One of the most famous necropoleis in the world, “the 14 acre-property contains 4691 above-ground vaults. The entrance to the cemetery is through neo-classical gates with tall Doric columns. The cemetery contains many elaborate marble mausoleums, decorated with statues, in a wide variety of architectural styles such as Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Baroque, and Neo-Gothic, and most materials used between 1880 and 1930 in the construction of tombs were imported from Paris and Milan. The entire cemetery is laid out in sections like city blocks, with wide tree-lined main walkways branching into sidewalks filled with mausoleums.”
