Was da Vinci connected to Rosslyn Chapel?
Leonardo da Vinci, with whose name Dan Brown entitled his thriller, had very little to do with the Chapel. Leonardo was born in 1452 at the small town of Vinci, twenty miles west of Florence, twelve years after the foundations of Rosslyn Chapel were first put into position. In 1480, when construction on the Chapel was permanently halted, Leonardo would have been 28 years old.
