This would depend on what constitutes an artifact. If you mean objects, manuscripts, cemeteries and ruins of Catholic origin, yes, there are many. Probably the best place to see such artifacts is at the Vatican museum in Rome or at the local chancery of your bishop; cathedrals sometimes have displays. The museums of the Middle East and Europe are rife with Catholic artifacts - in fact, entire churches have been turned into museums. Sites open to the public include certain levels of the catacombs, ruins or restorations of ancient monasteries, churches, missions and towns, and tombs of martyrs and saints. Relics of the saints circulate among the churches and the faithful and can be considered artifacts. Many churches and monasteries still in use in the old world date back centuries if not millennia and have paintings, objects and architecture that all speak from the past. Basically, the entire Catholic Church is an artifact as it claims to have not fundamentally changed in doctrine, hierarchy or beliefs since Its inception. For this reason, many artifacts are retired due to age or fragility since they could be picked up 1,000 years later and used in ceremonies today.

It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church..
