UK and Europe Roadtrip - Constance Cathedral

This crypt is thought to have been part of the first cathedral built in Constance in the 700s. The relics of St Pelagius were brought here from Rome in the mid 800s and a burial chamer was erected to hold them. St Conrad died around 975 and his tomb was also incorporated in the crypt. Select the photo below to see some of the religious icons that are on display here including a 2m high gilded copperplate of Christ that dates back to the 900s.
