The Sistine Chapel(Vatican City) is one of the world's most spectacular attractions, attracting millions of visitors each year. It houses awe-inspiring frescoes by Michelangelo and is the site for papal conclaves, baptisms and other official ceremonies. The chapel was constructed in 1483, but it wasn't until Pope Sixtus IV commissioned artists to decorate it that it really began to take shape.

Between 1473 and 1481, the popes hired several of the leading renaissance artists—including Pietro Perugino, Sandro Botticelli and Cosimo Roselli—to paint frescoes throughout the chapel.

Originally, the ceiling was painted with gold stars on a blue sky, and the work of Michelangelo transformed it into one of the most iconic images of all time.

These Sistine Chapel, Vatican Museums & Basilica include a figure of Saint Peter and his Apostles, an image of Saint Paul and the Saints John the Baptist and Dominic and an image of the Virgin Mary and Child.
