  Sistine Chapel

  In the Sistine Chapel, travelers are treated to one of the greatest masterpieces of Western art. Here, Michelangelo’s famous frescoes adorn the ceiling and the wall behind the altar. The ceiling features scenes from the Book of Genesis, including The Creation of Adam, where God reaches out to touch Adam's hand. Behind the altar is The Last Judgment, a powerful depiction of souls facing heaven or hell. The colors, details, and figures are extraordinary up close, capturing Michelangelo’s artistic genius and the chapel’s spiritual significance. This sacred space is not only a place of worship but also where new Popes are elected, adding to its historic and religious importance.
