He was originally buried in the cloister of the church of Saint-Florentin at Amboise, now destroyed. In 1863 poet, Arsene Houssaye excavated the site and found pieces of grave marker/tombstone inscribed (EO[....]DUS VINC) and a skeleton with a over large cranium. The size of the skull led him to deduct that these were the remains of Leonardo da Vinci because he hypothesised that the polymath's brain would have been larger than usual. Houssaye's hypothesis remains unproven and the bones now lie in the Chapel of St Hubert, Amboise Castle, Loire Valley.
I was actually at Amboise a few weeks ago and the chapel contains a plaque of memorial to da Vinci. As a Leonardo researcher I, like other historians can not say with any certainty that this is the master's last resting place. It is simply a probability and yet another Leonardo mystery.

Get smart! The Da Vinci code is just a story, it is not fact. But just like Darwin's Theory of Evolution some stupid people will come a long and proclaim it to be historical fact. Evolution was written to prove the freedom of the press, nothing more. The DaVinci Code was written to sell books, it is only a story, but some one turned it into a movie. That does not make it real!
