Cementerio de la Recoleta
The cemetery was primitively an orchard belonging to the Recoletos Franciscan monks, whose convent stood on the site currently occupied by the Centro Cultural Recoleta. It was turned into the Northern Cemetery on 1822. The Frontispiece is decorated with thirteen mortuary symbols and an imposing portico supported by Doric order columns. It is the oldest graveyard in the city, and the richness of the works of art it harbours makes it the second in importance after the cemetery of Genoa.
