Treasury of San Marco, Religious art museum in St Mark's Basilica, Venice, Italy
The Treasury contains 283 pieces of gold, silver, glass, and precious materials, including Byzantine chalices, bowls, and Islamic artifacts in ornate displays.
Following the Venetian conquest of Constantinople in 1204, numerous precious objects were brought to Venice, forming the initial collection of the Treasury.
The collection reflects Venice's connections through trade routes, featuring Byzantine metalwork, Islamic art, and Western European ecclesiastical objects from different periods.
The Treasury maintains regular visiting hours and provides wheelchair access through an entrance in the south transept of St Mark's Basilica.
The Treasury houses the throne-reliquary of St Mark, a 6th-century calcareous alabaster piece from Alexandria that arrived in Venice from Grado.
