Chacarita and its Cemetery
















The cemetery owes its existence to a yellow fever epidemic in 1871, when existing cemeteries were strained beyond capacity (La Recoleta cemetery (see other post) refused to allow the burial of victims of the epidemic). Students of the of San Carlos Colege appropriated 5 hectares (12 acres) in the adjoining Colegiales neighbourhood to bury the thousands that had deceased.
Its Buenos Aire´s biggest and has many famous buried there, such as Carlos Gardel, the Tango Icon.

Top 10 Pizza Joints in Buenos Aires - El Imperio - Chacarita
















El Imperio de la Pizza has two locations Av. Corrientes 6899 and Fco. Lacroze, Chacarita, both in Buenos Aires (city). These pics are from the one in Chacarita, that has retained its original looks. Right across from the train Terminal and the subway station, it has been a resting spot for millions of hungry travellers during decades.
By the way, when you go to this places, do´nt order a large pizza, go for the slice with fainá and eat it at the counter.
