The church of St. John the Baptist in [[Sacrofano]], a few miles north of Rome, claims to have his relics.<ref>''Sacrofano – Church of Saint John the Baptist'', "...the bones of St. Justin are preserved in a great urn under the coloured marble high altar, built in 1515."

The [[Church of the Jesuits, Valletta|Church of the Jesuits]] in Valletta, Malta, founded by papal decree in 1592 also boasts relics of this second century Saint.<ref>Wikipedia article on Church of the Jesuits.</ref>

A case is also made that the relics of St. Justin are buried in Annapolis, Maryland. During a period of unrest in Italy, a noble family in possession of his remains sent them in 1873 to a priest in Baltimore for safekeeping. They were displayed in St. Mary's Church for a period of time before they were again locked away for safekeeping. The remains were rediscovered and given a proper burial at St. Mary's, with Vatican approval, in 1989.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.apnews.com/88ec7a380363c0411c2a84b706f090fe|title = Italian Martyr's 1,600-Year-Old Remains Put to Rest|website = [[Associated Press]]|access-date = 16 June 2019|archive-date = 3 August 2020|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200803222845/https://apnews.com/88ec7a380363c0411c2a84b706f090fe|url-status = dead}}</ref> It is now asserted that the bones were of [[Justin the Confessor|St. Justin]] of the third century who was martyred during the persecution of Maximus.<ref>[https://catholicreview.org/saint-in-the-graveyard-how-did-the-bones-of-st-justin-wind-up-in-annapolis/], Saint in the Graveyard: How did the bones of St. Justin wind up in Annapolis?</ref>
