Cenotaph of Louis XII

The Cenotaph of Louis XII is a memorial located in the Château d'Amboise, France, honoring King Louis XII, who reigned from 1498 to 1515. Unlike a typical tomb, a cenotaph is a symbolic grave that does not hold the king's remains. The elegant structure showcases Renaissance art, reflecting the period's cultural flourishing. Louis XII is known for his contributions to France's territorial expansion and his marriage to Anne of Brittany, which united Brittany with France. The cenotaph serves as a tribute to his legacy and leadership in shaping early modern France.
