Cimetière de la Chartreuse

This guide to Cimetiere de la Chartreuse in Bordeaux follows the strange case of Francisco de Goya, the Spanish painter who died in exile here in 1828 and was buried in a borrowed vault. When Spain arranged to bring him home sixty years later, workers opening the tomb found two skeletons tangled together and only one skull between them. Nineteenth-century doctors swore by phrenology, the idea that a skull's shape could reveal its owner's character.
