TREASURY
- Although looted after the faill of the Republica and rather impoverished selling gems to collect money in the early 19th century, the treasury still has a valuable collection of Byzantine silver objects, gold and glass. Today most of the treasures found in a room whose walls are remarkably thick, believed to have been the tower of the Ducal Palace in the 9th century.
- Among the exhibits are chalices, cups, relics, two very complex icons of Archangel Michael and silver gilt reliquaries from the 11th century in the shape of a basilica with five domes. Sanctuary with more than a century relic is usually open to the public.
