Reliquiensammlung von Vodnjan, Religious relics collection in Church of St. Blaise, Vodnjan, Croatia
The Church of St. Blaise houses 370 religious relics from 250 saints, displayed in former sacristy rooms of this 60-meter-tall religious structure.
The church construction started in 1760 and completed in 1800, funded by local residents who contributed 10 percent of their wine and olive oil production.
The collection includes preserved bodies of saints, fragments of the Holy Cross, a thorn from Jesus' crown, and pieces of Virgin Mary's veil.
Visitors can access the collection from June through September between 9:00 and 13:00, then 14:00 to 18:00, while other months require advance appointments.
The preserved bodies within the church remain intact without embalming or hermetic sealing, creating a scientific mystery in non-desert climate conditions.
