Reply to comment by artaig in Researchers in Galicia open 15th-century tomb to test Columbus link theory. Explorer is generally believed to have been born in Italy in 1451 but some argue he was in fact born in Spain by ArtOak

I have been to the cathedral where Columbus in entombed, if memory serves, one of his relatives - I think maybe his father is also entombed there. The tour guide indicated to us that prior genetic testing had confirmed the family linkage. So, a less historical tomb is also available for confirmational genetic testing.
