Lonely Planet review

The sacristy entrance (halfway down the left aisle) leads to the treasury, which has sacred relics and priceless artefacts. Highlights include a tabernacle by Donatello; the Colonna Santa, a 4th-century Byzantine column from the earlier church; the 6th-century Crux Vaticana (Vatican Cross), made of bronze and beset with jewels - a gift of the emperor Justinian II; and the massive 15th-century bronze tomb of Sixtus IV by Pollaiuolo.
