Recoleta, Buenos Aires, Residential district in northern Buenos Aires, Argentina
The district encompasses numerous French-style mansions, palaces, and high-end residences along wide tree-lined avenues near the Rio de la Plata riverbank.
During the 1870s yellow fever epidemics, affluent Buenos Aires families relocated to Recoleta's elevated terrain, establishing grand European-style residences and transforming the area.
The National Museum of Fine Arts houses extensive Latin American art collections, European masters, and temporary exhibitions within its neoclassical building on Libertador Avenue.
Many bus lines, including routes 17, 61, and 92, connect Recoleta with other Buenos Aires districts through stops along Las Heras Avenue.
The district's cemetery contains 4,691 above-ground vaults constructed in varied architectural styles, with numerous sculptures marking the graves of notable Argentine figures.
