Gauchito Gil is a popular saint not recognized by the Catholic church. Nevertheless, there exist many shrines to the 19th century army deserter. The main shrine is in Mercedes in the province of Corrientes. Scattered all around the country's highways are small shrines notable for their red flags. Oddly, there's a large-ish shrine right in the middle of Buenos Aires just outside the Chacarita Cemetery.
