THE VATICAN MUSEUMS AND THE SISTINE CHAPEL

 

This tour takes us to one of the richest art collections in the world gathered by Popes throughout the centuries. After visiting the Candelabra Gallery, the Tapestry Gallery and the Geographical Map Gallery, we reach the world renowned Sistine Chapel, built in 1472 in the precise dimension of the Temple of Solomon as described in the Bible. Today's visit is highlighted by the masterpieces of Michelangelo who spent 4 years painting the Chapel ceiling with frescoes depicting scenes from the Old Testament including the incredible scene of the Creation. Tour will end with a detailed visit of St. Peter's Basilica and Square.
