Recoleta, City of Buenos Aires 

This neighborhood received its name from Recoletos Monk Convent who set in place at the beginning of XVIII century. Its main attraction and touristic point is the famous cemetery, however, there is much more to see.

Francia Square
The central monument that reigns in this place was made by the French sculptor Edmond Peynot. It was inaugurated in 1910 and is the first built in our country donated by a foreign community to mark the centenary of May Revolution.
Avenida del Libertador, Ricardo Levene, Dr. Luis Drain and Av Pueyrredón

Avenida del Libertador No. 1473

Nuestra Señora del Pilar Basilica
It was finished in 1732. The construction was directed by the Jesuit architect Andrés Blanqui. It preserves altarpieces and great part of the images and worship elements from the time Recoletos monks inhabited the convent. Next to the church, it operates as a small museum.
Junín No. 1892

Recoleta Cementery
It used to be Recoletos monks’ garden until it became a public cemetery in 1822, after the expulsion of the religious order. Sober, silent and mystic, it was first opened under the name of Miserere, and then it was renamed del Norte, and finally received the name it bears today.
The importance of this National Historical Monument lies in two aspects: its neo-colonial, neoclassical and baroque architectural style, being one of the four most valuable cemeteries in the world at architectural and artistic level; and its tombs and mausoleums where the remains of heroes, independence warriors, presidents, writers, scientists, artists and other personalities of the country lie.
It is recommended to visit the Cementery with a specialized guide, since every corner has something to say.
It is located among Junin, Vicente Lopez and Azcuénaga streets (B º Recoleta)
