Description: Historical context and urban past of the city of Salta through the history of the Cemetery of the Santa Cruz, with emphasis on architectural styles and funerary iconography, social hierarchies and inequalities for the living and for the dead, and local funerary rites and ceremonies. "The book the reader has in his hands is the outcome of a research done for some years in the Provincial Archives and in the Cemetery of the Santa Cruz. The objective was to study the old mausoleums, that no only keep a valuable wealth of data for the history of the city, but also of its very important artistic production."
