Abstract
[Machine translation] The contribution examines the medieval practice of concealing relics within architectural elements of churches, from wall structures, to memberships, to capitals, and analyzes their meanings, on an ideological-symbolic level, as part of the dialogue between material sources and written attestations. The territory considered is Western Europe, not without some reference to the late-ancient Mediterranean world (Constantinople), in which this practice has been known since late antiquity.
