In Santiago's Barrio Recoleta is the impressive Cementerio General (municipal cemetary). It seems a museum for mausoleums, as thousands are standing in apparent random order and different styles (classic, neogothic, jugendstil, and even a replica of a pyramid). Troughout the cemetary are the ‘galleries of the dead’, where the deceased are stacked, row upon row, in narrow concrete spaces covered with a small plaque. From the main entrance, go straight until you see the stylized, white marble tomb of Allende. On the left is the huge tomb of Nazario Elguin, built as a Maya temple, with a statue of the demon lord of Xibalba on top. Behind is a statue of Christ on Mount Golgotha, covered with plaques of thankful families. Still, it is not a somber place, as many visitors attend the graves of their loved ones with their children.
