Montevideo · Uruguay · Cemetery

The white lady of Montevideo's Central Cemetery still searches the graves for her lost beloved.

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.
