Rucellai Chapel in Florence

A favorite place for yours truly to visit while in Florence.

The nephew of Dietrich von Hildebrand originally told me about it.  

Constructed in the 1400s.

A tomb modeled after the Holy Sepulchre of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, located in Jerusalem. 

Made according to drawings and descriptions of pilgrims.

This is a smaller version than the original.   

Exquisite.
