R.I.P.
It’s surprising how many original tombstones are scattered near the entrance gate. Although standard when Recoleta Cemetery opened in 1822, by the first refit in 1881 they began to disappear & were replaced with elaborate, family vaults. So 155 years after his death, Victorio can still be remembered… fascinating for a place that has seen so many changes.

360cities currently has two, full panorama views inside: one at Sarmiento’s tomb & another at the largest intersection of walkways. Clicking on the photo below takes you to this panorama; they now charge for embedding:
Panning right, several tombs appear which have already been profiled in this blog: Ramón López Lecube, Pablo Riccheri, Father Fahy, Remedios de Escalada & Guillermo Brown (barely visible behind the Christ statue).
Thanks to Ronald for the tip. Hopefully we can find some more spots to photograph when I’m back in BA!
