The Recoleta Cemetery (Cementerio de la Recoleta) has long been popular with locals and tourists alike, drawn here by the many elaborate mausoleums.
These beautiful mausoleums serve as final resting places for a true who's who of famous Argentines, including such illustrious souls as Eva Perón, now embalmed in the Duarte family tomb.
Located on Plaza de Mayo, the beautiful Cabildo served as the seat of colonial government and was the epicenter of the May 1810 revolution against Spanish rule. It dates from 1610 and was later expanded throughout the 18th century.
Today, this splendid building houses the National Museum of the Cabildo with its numerous exhibitions related to the city during the 18th century, including a replica of the city's first press, an exhibition of Jesuit and colonial art, and numerous old maps and photos of the city.
