Recoleta Cemeterio

We took a guided tour of the Recoleta Cemetery, where Evita was finally laid to rest after her body was taken from place to place for several years. Another notable tomb was of a young girl, who had died, the story goes; her grandmother, who was in Europe at the time of the death, made a quick retreat to Buenos Aires and demanded that the body be exhumed. When the coffin was opened there were scratch marks on the inside of the coffin. The screams she had heard that summoned her back were those of the grand daughter, who had been mistakenly buried alive. The tomb, built after she was reburied is of the young girl with her hand on the entrance to the tomb, a way out but too late.
