In 1822, the church disbanded and the cemetery that surrounded it was converted into the cities first public cemetery. Today, the cemetery is home to over 4,500 above ground tombs of which 94 are declared historical landmarks. Here, Argentina’s wealthiest are laid to rest in a family mausoleum after their passing. Many of these tombs are in impeccable shape and constructed in such a way that allows onlookers to peer in. Inside, it is common to find offerings such as pictures and flowers laid out on an alter at the base of a cross or crucifix. Looking around, one may also see the coffins of those who are buried there. Many of these tombs appear to have a lower levels that is inaccessible to visitors. The outside of these tombs are primarily decorated with depictions of beings from Christian theology such angels or busts of the people laid to rest there. Some even contain stain glass windows inspired by common theological images such as of Jesus or his mother Mary. All of their windows are decorated so that they may be admired from the inside rather than the out, as if these still images are watching over the dead and protecting them as they rest. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
