Presentation

A collection rich in history!

Disappeared in 1793 following the French Revolution, the treasury of Amiens Cathedral has been reconstituted over the years. Three types of items make up the treasure: relics of saints, liturgical crockery and, finally, a number of items of paraphernalia needed for religious services.

During a guided tour (30 min.), discover the history of the most emblematic relics in the collection:

  • the head of Saint John the Baptist in its reconstructed 19th-century reliquary
  • the 14th-century votive crown of the Paraclete , containing the relics of the Passion
  • Saint-Firmin's hunt (13th century)

And so many other treasures!
