This is the number one tourist attraction in BA. There are 500 plots filled with impressive statues and marble sarcophagi. You can peek into the crypts and check out the coffins, many have stairways going down several floors to accommodate large families. Many of the presidents and military leaders are here. All plots are taken and owned by families and no other non family can be buried here. Many are elegant and others old and in need of repair.
Pics, Evita's grave....family name Duarte, President Pellegrini, sad story according to our cemetery guide...this 19 year girl was on her first day of her honeymoon in Innsbruck when an avalanche crashed into her bedroom and instantly killed her....her bronze statue is in her wedding dress and with her dog...guide said one is supposed to rub the dog's nose for good luck..see how shiny it is
