  • El Cementerio Israelita: On Villaguay Street between Las Heras and Priovano Streets, next to the British and city cemeteries, the cemetery dates from 1915. The metal entry gate inside stone columns has a door with decorative arch above that holds the words "Cementerio Israelita," and a Mogen David at the top. [December 2003]
