If visiting the Vatican, the world’s smallest country is on your itinerary when in Italy, make sure you fit the Sistine Chapel into your trip. This famous chapel, constructed in 1473, is one of the most important Catholic buildings in the world, and is where every new pope is elected.
For many, the most exciting part of a visit to Italy and the Vatican is the opportunity to admire Michelangelo’s masterpiece on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
For four years, Michelangelo painted scenes from the bible onto the ceiling, permanently damaging his eyesight from droplets of paint falling back into his eyes.
The most famous element of Michelangelo’s work is “The Creation Of Adam”, which has been recreated countless times across the world.
