The Chest of Saint Simeon

The Chest of St. Simeon is modelled after the original chest that stands in the sanctuary of St. Simeon in Zadar. Find it at the Laudato Gallery.
The chest of St. Simeon stands at the main altar of the Church of St. Simeon in Zadar, and is the most valuable work of medieval goldsmithing art in Croatia. It contains the preserved remains of St. Simeon, the beloved patron saint of the city, while scenes of important historical events and the appearance of Zadar and its residents during the Middle Ages have been eternalized on the chest.
