Recoleta Cementery, in the upscale Recoleta Barrio of Buenos Aires, is the final resting place of many of Argentina's wealthiest and most famous families and personages.

The mausoleums are fairly small, befitting the size of the cementery in an urban setting, and it's common for many menbers, generations even, of the same family occupy one mausoleum.
