Where is Christopher Columbus buried anyway?



This weekend we went to the capital to see some of the historic sites. One place we visited was the place where Christopher Columbus' remains are. You can see the black box in the photos above. It was interesting to us because when we were in Spain a few years ago, we saw Christopher Columbus' remains there too! Both countries claim to have his remains. Our tour guide this weekend assured us that the actual remains are here, and that Spain has his son's remains instead. We assume we've seen his resting place in one of the two spots!
