History

Cementerio de la Chacarita in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is known as the National Cemetery and is the largest in Argentina.

It owes its existence to a yellow fever epidemic in 1871, when existing cemeteries were strained beyond capacity (the upscale La Recoleta Cemetery refused to allow the burial of victims of the epidemic). Students of the College of San Carlos appropriated 5 hectares (13 acres) in the adjoining Colegiales area for this purpose, but had their facility closed by the municipality in 1886. The New Chacarita Cemetery began to function in 1887 and was formally designated as such in 1896. In the 1800s, a large number of British nationals came to Argentina to work in the many areas of the economy in which Britain then had extensive interests. Many of these expatriates were buried in the Victoria Cemetery in Buenos Aires, but when this cemetery closed in 1892 a section of the Chacarita Cemetery was designated as the British Cemetery. In addition, there is a German section.

The cemetery has designated areas for members of the Argentine artistic community, including writers, prominent composers and actors. The late populist leader Juan Perón was buried here until his remains were relocated in 2006 to a mausoleum in his former home in San Vicente, Buenos Aires.
