 Evita Peron's Monument by hekate
As long as I am aware it is fairly new one and not very beautiful but still having in mind the role that Evita played in the Argentinian history it is worth seeing. Leave a Comment Address: Recoleta, Aguero 2502Directions: You will find Evita Peron's Monument next to Biblioteca Nacional.

Recoleta is one of the most distinguished areas in Buenos Aires and visited by a lot of tourists. Most of them come for the ‘must see’ Cemetery of Recoleta. But there are also a lot of art galleries and museums and Avenida Alvear is a shopping paradise with upscale shops. Plaza de Recoleta offers shops and a food court and is located close to the cemetery.
We had the best impression of the cemetery from the 14th floor of Hotel Etoile, opposite the cemetery at the pedestrian mall Pte. RM Ortiz. During our first visit we had a ‘café chico’ and a great view over Recoleta Cemetery, the city and the Rio de la Plata. Just go inside the hotel and take the elevator to the 14th floor (did read this tip on VT !!).
The cemetery it self is like a small village with narrow streets surrounded by monuments, memorials, mausoleums and tombs of all kinds and sizes. It is amazing to realise there are almost 6500 mausoleums/tombs on such a small piece of earth. At the entrance is a plan and it was easy to find the tomb of Eva Peron. As (almost) every visitor wants to visit at least this tomb of the Duarte family.
We walked along some ‘streets’ of this city of the dead and it is surprising to see the different tombs and mausoleums with plaques on the walls, but also with flowering trees. The cemetery seems to be a tourist highlight, but when a funeral procession was passing by, we realised it is still a public cemetery.

Buenos Aires' most sophisticated and traditionally upper-class neighbourhood Recoleta is considered to be one of the finest and most expensive areas of the city. Apart from the Cementerio de la Recoleta, the final resting place of Evita Peron, Recoleta is also full of chic apartment buildings, parks, galleries and boutiques. There are a great number of first class restaurants, cafes and night clubs on the streets surrounding the cemetery, which gives the special atmosphere to the place.
Recoleta forms part of the Barrio Norte. It's well worth a look for its French-style homes and beautiful churches. The most famous is the Basilica Nuestra Señora del Pilar, the oldest in the city. Only 500 meters further is the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes - MNBA (www.mnba.org.ar). It houses a significant collection of Argentine Art; Brazilian and Uruguayan works are also shown and a famous self-portrait by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. This ultra-modern building is a welcome addition to the city's cultural landscape. Directions: upper east side of the city; part of the area known as Barrio Norte

Feria Artesanal de la Recoleta features top quality crafts. It takes place in Plaza Francia and has become the city's largest fair, completely taking over all the walkways in the area. Even the Recoleta Cemetery's church gets involved by setting up tables of postcards and religious souvenirs in its courtyard.
You'll find every imaginable souvenir and craft in addition to food. Artisans sell handmade clothes and knitwear, jewelry, housewares as well as more traditional arts and crafts here. It's a nice place to buy presents, traditional mate cups, paintings or just anything you like. This fair is a very typical promenade for locals and visitors. People meet to play music, sip mate and have a good time.
