Treasure of the Cathedral of Genoa, Religious art museum in San Lorenzo Cathedral, Genoa, Italy.
The museum displays medieval gold and silver treasures in underground rooms beneath San Lorenzo Cathedral, featuring modified spaces designed by Franco Albini in 1956.
The collection includes the Sacro Catino, a ninth-century glass vessel that tradition associates with the Last Supper, brought to Genoa during the First Crusade.
The silver processional Ark holds the ashes of Saint John the Baptist and presents detailed scenes from his life created by artists from Liguria and Tuscany.
The museum welcomes visitors from Monday through Saturday, with opening hours between 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, at an entry fee of 5 euros.
The museum contains the Cross of Zaccaria, a thirteenth-century reliquary incorporating gold, gems, and pearls that belonged to a prominent Genoese merchant family.
