Central Cemetery of Montevideo

Montevideo · Uruguay · Cemetery

The Central Cemetery of 1835 is Uruguay's national pantheon, where presidents and poets rest beneath grand marble monuments near the shore of the Río de la Plata. Its best-known legend concerns the Dama Blanca, a woman in white who wanders between the tombs on foggy nights, searching for the beloved she lost. Night watchmen and late visitors describe her icy presence and a figure gliding away among the cypresses. The legend has made the cemetery a fixed stop on the city's ghost tours.
