Rosslyn Chapel - sacred destinations (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
Rosslyn Chapel (originally named the Collegiate Chapel of St. Matthew) is a 15th-century church in the village of Roslin, seven miles from Edinburgh in Scotland. The unique chapel is famous both for its decorative art and its mysterious associations with the Knights Templar, the Holy Grail, and the Freemasons.
Rosslyn Chapel's mysteries played a significant role in Dan Brown's 2003 novel The Da Vinci Code. Since that time, the number of visitors to Rosslyn Chapel has risen by 56% and the chapel is now one of the most popular tourist destinations in Scotland. Part of the filming of the movie based on the book took place at Rosslyn Chapel in August 2005.
