What to expect
Vatican Museums
Viale Vaticano, Rome, 00165, Italy
The Vatican Museums, the most important museum complex in the world, are located in Rome. They exhibit works from the immense collection built by the Roman Catholic Church over the centuries.
Sistine Chapel
Vatican City, 00120, Italy
The frescoes that we contemplate here introduce us to the world of the contents of Revelation. The truths of our faith speak to us here from all sides. From them the human genius drew his inspiration by committing himself to dress them with forms of unparalleled beauty. The Sistine Chapel owes its name to its client, Pope Sixtus IV della Rovere (1471-1484), who wanted to build a new large room on the site where the "Magna Chapel" already stood, a fortified hall from the Middle Ages, intended to house the meetings of the papal court.
