The treasury of the Basilica houses a myriad of sacred relics, jewels, and works of art, donated over the centuries by devotees and sovereigns. Among the most precious pieces are the crucifix of St. John and the icon of the Madonna Nicopeia. These sacred works of art testify to the devotion and wealth of the Republic of Venice and its importance as a religious and economic center in the Mediterranean.
