Although Saint Blaise Church is a Roman Catholic church, it is also a museum and the last resting place for several saints. It took 40 years to complete with construction starting in 1760 and ending in 1800. Today, the church stands as the largest on the Istrian Peninsula with 10 altars. Inside the church walls are 370 relics that belonged to 250 different Roman Catholic Saints. The significant relics include what is believed to be a fragment of the Holy Virgin's veil, a particle of Jesus' cross, thorn from Jesus' crown and the collection of Croatian mummies, which are the remains of Roman Catholic Saints. There is also the Collection of Sacral Art, the largest in Croatia. It contains over 730 exhibits dating back to the year 400 until the 19th century. The collection features stone reliefs, 15 sculptures and 15 paintings on canvas and wood jewelry and various books and manuscripts. The painter Gaetano Gresler hid thousands of these artifact from Napoleon's army. The church is Vodnjan, Croatia.
