Yes it certainly is, and not the most popular meeting with some of the protesters who assembled in front of it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted December 5, 2018 Share #2832 Posted December 5, 2018 5 hours ago, war said: The Romanesqe Abbey of Saint Foy in Conques, France. Perhaps someone knows about the relic. The relics are those of St Foy a martyred woman. Apparently the monks, who lived there in around 800CE, felt very envious of other abbeys which had significant relics and they were missing out on the pilgrim tourist trade en route to Santiago de Compostela (and therefore more importantly, money). Having tried legitimate means for a while, to buy or borrow some relics, they ended up stealing St Foy from a nearby church. Wilson 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

war Posted December 19, 2018 Share #2834 Posted December 19, 2018 Sorry for the delay, I was waiting for Wilson who had the complete answer. Here is an easy one to get us moving again. This building, part of a group, is not generally referred to by name. It's address is required for this answer. Welcome, dear visitor!

NigelG Posted December 19, 2018 Share #2836 Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Well although it’s entrance is on East Delaware Place....that’s part of Mies’ “Esplanade” N Lake Shore Drive complex and is actually called “900 Lake Shore Drive” (without the N) on the building itself.
