The basilica consists of two chapels; the lower St. Basil's Chapel, which displays a Romanesque style, and the upper 15th-century Gothic Style chapel with the famous Relic of the Holy Blood. In the Middle Ages, this vial, containing two drops of holy blood, was considered one of the holiest relics in Europe. It is still exhibited every Friday.
