Description
Famous for being the burial place of Leonardo Da Vinci, the Chapel of Saint Hubert is located on the grounds of Chateau Amboise. The chateau is an imposing site sitting high on a hill above the French city of Amboise, and this lovely chapel sits just in front of the chateau. Leonardo’s wish was to be buried in the church of St. Florentin in Amboise, which took place on August 12, 1519. However the church was demolished during the French Revolution in the late 18th century. The alleged bones of Leonardo da Vinci were discovered in 1863 and moved to the Chapel of Saint-Hubert in the gardens of the Château d’Amboise. Today, the tomb can be visited on the left side of the tiny chapel, where two epitaphs (in French and Italian) hang on the wall describing his birth, death, and how he came to rest in the Chapel of Saint-Hubert.
