About

In Venice's largest Catholic church, reliquaries containing saints' bones are displayed.

St Mark’s Basilica in Venice is the city’s most famous and likely most crowded church. What is truly lovely and unusual at St Mark’s, however, is the treasury—particularly the half of the treasury featuring dozens of gold and crystal reliquaries containing the bones of saints, all arranged in orderly rows and carefully labelled.
