Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15212

St. Anthony's Chapel sits atop Troy Hill and overlooks the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh's North Side.  This historical landmark is named after Saint Anthony of Padua.  But what is most interesting about this church is its collection.  The chapel is home to over 5,000 sacred relics of the Catholic faith.  This is the largest public collection in the world.  A wide variety of relics can be seen there from artworks to fabrics to remains.

Randyland

1501 Arch St

Pittsburgh, PA 15212

When you spot Randyland driving by Arch Street, you feel like you have fallen into Oz. The brightly colored exterior of the building is only the beginning of Randy Gilson's imagination. With the desire to revitalize the community, Gilson began creating his masterpiece out of recycled materials. Today, he has created his own world within his home and stretching out almost 30 blocks around the North Side. It is a sight to see.
