TOMB OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS  by sangwann

TOMB OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS

This is one of the main attractions for visitors of the Seville cathedral, housing the remains of the great explorer who died in poverty in Valladolid. The tomb itself is more recent, from the 1892, with four bearers presenting the kingdoms of Castile, Leon, Aragon and Navarra. Recent DNA tests proved beyond doubt that this tomb does hold Columbus.
Many thanks for all your views, comments and favs. Always much appreciated.
Why did he die in poverty when he achieved so much?
