Art

Recoleta is characterized by its opulent aesthetics which gathers a genuine interest in both art and literature in all their aspects.That reminds us of some Italian cities of the past whose bourgeoisie was established under the paradigm of the classic and literary culture.

This is why all its exhibitions and cultural centers or spaces are the most advisable to visit (The National Museum of fine Arts, the National Library, Recoleta Cultural Center, among others) with the aim of enjoying all the artistic luxury that Recoleta can offer.

Art is also present in every statue and monument scattered throughout the many square in Recoleta.

You can see all kind of activities, sightseeing, contests, workshops, and displays related to the art works of this area.
The art and architecture provide us with another way of enjoying the Cemetery visit. The level of artistic expression of this small necropolis is striking. The sculptures and architecture of the vaults (made with great amounts of marble) are amazing due to the quality, amount and variety.

Moreover and above all, Recoleta Cemetery captivates people with the mystical stories that revolve around it and for its myths and legends.
