Recoleta Cemetery #2

Like all old cemeteries, there are some interesting stories that go with some of the graves.   Remember that Argentina originally followed the European model, so folks who were important (or gave a lot of money to the Catholic Church) got to be buried inside the church.  Once that practice stopped, though, many wanted their mausoleum to continue to look like a church.  The largest in the cemetery looks very much like a little church, and of course it’s at the end of one of the main streets.
