Probably the most famous chapel in the world because of its incredible artwork, notably “The Last Judgment,” Michelangelo’s stunning fresco covering 10,000 square feet of the ceiling and wall. Arguably one of the finest Cathedrals in the entire world, St. Peter’s is the spiritual center of the Vatican and the product of many of Italy’s great Renaissance’s architects, among them Bramante, Raphael and Michelangelo. The Vatican Museums, founded by Pope Julius II in the 16th century, contain one of the largest art collections in the world. Inside there are huge collections of works of art accumulated over the centuries by the popes. The Sistine Chapel frescoed by Michelangelo is only a part of the works that visitors can admire.The Vatican Museums are located in the Vatican territory but the entrance is in Italian territory, in Rome.
