Sistine Chapel

The Sistine Chapel is a chapel in the Apostolic Palace, the pope's official residence in Vatican City. It is famous for its frescoes, particularly the Sistine Chapel ceiling and The Last Judgment, both by Michelangelo. The chapel's interior is decorated with a series of frescoes depicting the Life of Moses and the Life of Christ, offset by papal portraits above and trompe-l'œil drapery below. The Sistine Chapel is also the site of the papal conclave, the process by which a new pope is selected. Visitors can admire the beautiful artwork and architecture of the chapel, including the starry sky on the ceiling and the marble screen, choir stalls, and pontifical coat of arms. The chapel is a must-see destination for art lovers and those interested in history and religion
