History

Recoleta Cemetery was inaugurated in 1822, initially being the garden of the Recoletos order monastery. Its transformation into a cemetery was initiated by Bernardino Rivadavia, the first president of Argentina. Initially, the cemetery was intended for the elite of Buenos Aires, reflecting the social stratification of the era. Over time, Recoleta became the final resting place for numerous Argentine personalities, including presidents, scientists, and artists. In 1881, the cemetery was expanded and modernized, adding impressive gates and a neo-Gothic chapel. In the 20th century, Recoleta acquired the status of a national monument, becoming a symbol of Argentine history and culture.
