San Bartolomeo all'Isola

I read today about San Bartolomeo all'Isola, the basilica in Rome on Tiber Island, which contains the relics of St. Bartholomew the Apostle.

That's Rome for you -- too much stuff. I walked by that church several times and I never knew it had the relics of St Bart.

Wikipedia says his arm is in Canterbury Cathedral and part of his skull in Frankfurt - there's a bit of him everywhere.
