What To Expect

Vatican Museums

The Vatican Museums are the national museum of the Vatican City, in Rome. Founded by Pope Julius II in the 16th century, they occupy a large part of the vast courtyard of the Belvedere and are one of the largest art collections in the world, since they display the enormous collection of works of art accumulated over the centuries by the popes: the Sistine Chapel and the papal apartments frescoed by Michelangelo and Raphael are part of the works that visitors can admire on their journey. Although the museums are located entirely in Vatican territory, their entrance is in Italian territory, in viale Vaticano 6 in Rome.

Sistine Chapel

Visit the marvelous Sistine Chapel and admire Michelangelo's frescoes, famous all over the world and considered a cornerstone of Western art. The Sistine Chapel (in Latin: Sacellum Sixtinum), dedicated to Mary Assumed into Heaven, is the main chapel of the apostolic palace, as well as one of the most famous cultural and artistic treasures of the Vatican City, inserted in the itinerary of the Vatican Museums. It was built between about 1475 and 1481, at the time of Pope Sixtus IV della Rovere, from which it took its name. It is known throughout the world both for being the place where the conclave and other official ceremonies of the pope are held (in the past also some papal coronations), and for being decorated with some of the best known and most celebrated works of art in the artistic civilization worldwide, among which the famous frescoes by Michelangelo stand out.
