One of the most expensive places to live in Buenos Aires is the Recoleta neighborhood. Back in the 1870s, in order to escape a yellow fever epidemic, the well to do of Buenos Aires moved north of the city to this area. Today it has been encircled by the city of Buenos Aires and its most famous spot is the Recoleta Cemetery where Eva Duarte Peron is buried.

At one point of the neighborhood stands an unusual steel flower. It is a work of art that reacts the way a real flower does, opening slowly in the morning, turning to face the sun during the day and then closing at night.
