Recoleta sits along the north bank of the Mapocho River in Chile’s Santiago Metropolitan Region, where the dense capital extends toward the Andes. The commune is home to Cementerio General, founded in 1821 and among Chile’s most significant burial grounds; its mausoleums and memorials trace many chapters of the nation’s public life. Cerro Blanco rises close to the urban core, while the Patronato district is known for its busy streets of clothing shops, food businesses and migrant-run commerce.
