"While albums on the monuments of the First Cemetery have been published since the late 20th century, there was no genuine guidebook to assist visitors in touring the site, learning about its history and getting to know its most important  monuments[...]

This is and indispensable guide for a site of encounter and memory, which has surpassed its conventional use in the city's awareness, given that its monumental and historic character has become inextricably linked with the capital city's own identity."
