Recoleta - Barrio Norte | Español
This area represents art, elegance, leisure and of course night life, all fine characteristics of Buenos Aires social elite. Its name is derived from the Convent of Recoletos Fathers Congregation, the church "Our Lady of Pilar" (inaugurated in 1732), and the cemetery where various national heroes lay including the much visited tomb of the late Eva Perón. In this same compact area you can also visit the Museum of Fine Arts, the "Palais de Glace" and the Recoleta Cultural Center which provide the district with a marked artistic fashion further enriched by the presence of artisans and street artists. Sophisticated restaurants, cafés and nightclubs in the Recoleta neighborhood give this area its unique and charming character.
