RECOLETTA CEMETARY
If you enter the cementary of Recoletta it seems as if you are walking though a spooky ghost town. It is not like a normal cementary with the graves and little flower beds in the front...
This cementary is where the rich people from Buenos Aires are burried; such as Evita Péron. For this reason the graves are like little houses.
They have more than one floor so there is enough room the entire family. Sometimes, when you look into the "door" you can actually see the corphin.
Many people think it isnt right to leave the corphin at sight, but others say that this way the family members can be closer to their relatives or friends.
At first, when I didnt have an impression yet, I thought I could not find myself sitting next to the corphin, being able to sit so close to the dead. But when I was there, looking at the graves and seeing how nice they were made up, I now think it is a very nice way of keeping the dead.
Here are a few pictures so you can get an impression of this strange, creepy but still so beautiful place!
