Sistine Chapel

The Sistine Chapel is a place of pilgrimage for Catholics around the world. Located in Vatican City, it has always served as an important reminder that God's love can be found anywhere - even on our own hands and feet!

Michelangelo was an appreciated sculptor, but this was his first experience as a painter - especially something of importance. In fact he originally declined the offer to decorate ceilings in the Vatican chapel with frescoes which are unparalleled until today! But within a four years time frame stunningly realistic pictures were completed for Pope Julius II commissioned work piece after masterpiece; all because this artist became so absorbed into what they were doing that there wasn't even room left over anymore inside themselves where anything else could live or grow...It.

When you visit the Sistine Chapel, it's hard to imagine how different things were back in 1512. Nowadays we use this incredible room as a seat of power and popes are elected here each time they're needed - which is approximately once every six months! The cardinals meet inside along with some other important people like Michelangelo who helped create such stunning artwork throughout history.
