Napoleons Tomb ... albeit, Napoleon is in fact buried in this building, but the immensity of the structure allows for more than just a simple tomb. There are others entombed here as well ... children, military associates of Napoleon, Josephine.
The dome of the building is centered over the casket. From the picture you can tell that the casket is quite large. When entering the building, you look down on the casket from above on the main floor. Once you have circumvented the opening from this perspective, you go down to the lower level, the level on which the tomb is. Surrounding the tomb are a goodly number of statues, Greek statues symbolizing virtue, honesty, etc.
