Napoleon, fearing that his tomb would become a symbol to Republicanism, ordered it to stay at the Château d'If, on an island near Marseille. It stayed there for 18 years until Louis XVIII granted him a burial place in his hometown in Strasbourg. He was buried on December 15, 1838 below his statue located in the middle of Place Kléber. His heart is in an urn in the caveau of the Governors beneath the altar of the St. John Chapel in Les Invalides, Paris. The statue, designed by Philippe Grass, was finally completed in 1838.Sukhothai Great Buddha statue at Si Chum Temples Takht-i-Bahi Buddha statuesTemple, Mansion and Cemetery of Confucius Gold statue of Confucius Upper Middle Rhine Valley Deutsches Eck in KoblenzVatican City Michaelangelo Pieta, Laokon and his SonsVersailles Louis XIV statue at outer courtyard Vienna Statues of Maria Theresa and Pallas Athena Wachau Cultural Landscape Venus of WillendorfWestminster Statue of Richard the Lionheart in Westminster PalaceYungang Grottoes
