Located in the grotto/crypt of the Vatican Basilica; this is where the remains of John XXIII and John Paul II formerly laid and now the spot remains empty.
How do we know that it is for Benedict XVI? Has it already been decided that he will be entombed here? I just wansn't sure ... Will he decide to be entombed somewhere else within in the Vatican Grottoes or even outside the Grottoes?
Possibly it is, as it is in Spain, that the King's and Queen's remains are left in a place called "el pudridero" (the rotting place) in order to reduce the volume of the remains and later transfer them to smaller coffin. John might have seen it at El Escorial
