		For those who are planning a vacation or business trip to London but won't have the opportunity to venture outside the capital due to time constraints, it might be useful to know that a full-sized replica of part of Rosslyn Chapel is on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
		Sections of Rosslyn's Lady Chapel, including the world-famous Apprentice Pillar and "coded" stone cubes, as featured in THE DA VINCI CODE, were diligently molded, recast, and reassembled among other world-famous curiosities in the V&A's Cast Courts.
		The facade of Santiago de Compostela and even copies of the effigies of the knights in the Temple Church have been reproduced by enthusiastic Victorian craftsmen who aspired to create a juxtaposition of the highlights of an eccentric Grand Tour of Europe within the confined space of two overwhelming museum exhibition halls.
