Sistine Chapel is the most popular place to visit in the Vatican City. Dating back to the 15th century, it is the official residence of The Pope and also serves as the location for the Cardinals to elect The Pope. Like many other Italian churches from the Medieval and Rennaissance eras, the Sistine Chapel’s exterior is quite simple and does not showcase any architectural decoratives. But, step inside the chapel and you will be left in awe. The walls of the chapel are decorated with numerous frescos from many famous artists such as Botticelli, Perugino, Roselli, and Ghirlandaio. However, the chapel is primarily visited to view Michelangelo’s masterpieces on the ceiling and behind the altar. While you will see The Last Judgement behind the altar, famous Testament stories can be viewed on the ceiling.
