The Recoleta Cemetery is located in the exclusive Recoleta neighborhood, which owes its name to the fact that the convent of the Recollect monks was located there, to which the neighboring Basilica Nuestra Señora del Pilar also belonged (in the old orchard of the monks the cemetery was built). It is the most visited in the city, due to its numerous and imposing mausoleums and vaults, belonging to many of the main protagonists of Argentine history, such as Eva Perón (Evita).
