Marazion - St Michael's Mount Views

The Lost Treasure of Marazion

Long ago, in the year 1473, the island of St. Michael's Mount was under siege. The monks of the priory, worried about the safety of their precious treasures, decided to hide their gold and silver by throwing it into the sea. It was believed to be lost forever, but rumours have persisted that the treasures were given to a maiden from the nearby town of Marazion. She was entrusted with a map of possible hiding spots where the stash would be safe until the end of the siege. However, the hidden hoard was never retrieved. That is, until now.
