Description
A black and white photo of metal bars over the stained glass window of a mausoleum in La Recoleta Cemetery, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Set in 14 acres, the cemetery contains over 4500 vaults, all above ground, of which 94 have been declared National Historical Monuments by the Argentine government and are protected by the state. Many of the vaults are elaborate marble mausoleums, decorated with statues, in a wide variety of architectural styles such as Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Baroque, and Neo-Gothic. While many of the mausoleums are in fine shape and well-maintained, others have fallen into disrepair.
