Ida rarely gets a visitor since she shares the same row as Eva Per\u00f3n<\/a>… nothing like being upstaged by the cemetery’s most well-known resident. Perhaps due to Ida’s proximity to Evita, an urban legend developed around her death based on the evocative statue of a young woman reaching for a fallen rose.<\/p>\n Unable to confirm any factual evidence, most guides claim Ida fell to death from an upper story balcony… hence the statue. Seems like someone had an overactive imagination, but the best part about this mausoleum is that it contains some of the most overlooked Art Nouveau in Recoleta Cemetery.<\/p>\n The door is difficult to appreciate given the narrow width of sidewalk in front but is quite an impressive work of art:<\/p>\n Interior photos are difficult due to glass reflections & low light levels, but peeking inside is easy. The mosaics & carved marble tomb shouldn’t be missed:<\/p>\n After seeing Eva Per\u00f3n, wander toward the wall instead of returning to the main walkway. Ida is on the right-hand side waiting for some attention too.<\/p>\n Like Art Nouveau?<\/strong> Learn about the architects of the era, their individual styles & what makes Art Nouveau in Buenos Aires so unique with a 33-page guide from our sister site, Endless Mile<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ida rarely gets a visitor since she shares the same row as Eva Per\u00f3n… nothing like being upstaged by the cemetery’s most well-known resident.
