Cathedral treasury

A cathedral treasury is a collection of valuable items stored within a cathedral, often including religious artifacts, liturgical objects, gold and silver vessels, vestments, and artwork. These items are usually of historical, artistic, or spiritual significance and may be used in church services or preserved for their heritage value. Treasuries play a crucial role in a cathedral’s heritage, reflecting its history, culture, and the community's devotion. They may also serve as a source of income for the cathedral, as some items can be exhibited or loaned to museums.
