Vatican -It’s unique opportunity to admire works by Raphael, Giotto and Caravaggio by walking trough the Pio Clement Museum, the Gallery of the Candelabras, the Gallery of the Geographical Maps, the Gallery of the Tapestries (Renaissance art), the Raphael Rooms and the Sistine Chapel.
A visit to the Sistine Chapel is a deeply immersive and awe-inspiring experience, filled with rich history, breathtaking art, and profound reverence. Nestled within the Vatican Museums in Vatican City, the chapel itself is famous for its ceiling, masterfully painted by Michelangelo. As you step into the dimly lit, hallowed space, your eyes are immediately drawn upwards to the sweeping frescoes that depict stories from the Book of Genesis, including the iconic “Creation of Adam,” where God reaches out to touch Adam’s finger in a moment of divine connection.
The walls of the Sistine Chapel are equally adorned with powerful frescoes by other Renaissance masters like Botticelli, Perugino, and Ghirlandaio, which portray scenes from the lives of Moses and Jesus. At the front of the chapel, Michelangelo’s dramatic “Last Judgment” covers the entire altar wall, illustrating the final fate of souls with an intensity that both fascinates and humbles viewers.
At the end You will enter* to St. Peter’s Basilica, Renaissance-style church and symbol of Christianity. According to tradition, the basilica was built over the burial place of St. Peter, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus and the first bishop of Rome. To maintain this tradition, Popes are buried in the basilica today.
It is important to understand that this crypts under the church are different from Catacombs where first Christian where buried.
