The Sistine Chapel

The Sistine Chapel The Sistine Chapel Although there is nothing particularly special about the chapel's architecture, it deserves its reputation for its frescoes, which are the work of world-famous artists. Ralph Braumer / age fotostock;

A visit to the Sistine Chapel is a high point in a visit to the Vatican. Admire the remarkable mural frescoes by Peruguin, Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Signorelli and Michaelangelo with his "The Last Judgement", 65 ft high and 32 ft wide. Admire the restored radiant colours of these celebrated scenes from Genesis. Nearby, look at the room of mysteries of the faith, enriched by fantastic Pinturiccio frescoes.
