City of the Dead

One of the main tourist attractions here is the Recoleta Cemetery, where all wealthy families, celebrities and politicians build there impressive tombs. They are usually more artistic and splendid the building in the city (I would describe Buenos Aires as exceptionally beautiful). It is less a graveyard but more a city of the dead. The mausoleums are often  The doors to the tombs are often broken and the bare coffins exposed. A strong smell of decay smell flashes from the tombs every now and then, giving the whole cemetery a really eerie atmosphere.
