Itinerary and highlights

The Vatican Museums are a group of museums that may be found in Vatican City, which is a neighborhood of Rome, Italy. The huge collection of historical and artistic pieces amassed by numerous Catholic Church popes over many centuries is on display at the Vatican Museums.

The Sistine Chapel is a rectangular brick structure with six arched windows on each of its two major sides (also known as side walls), as well as a barrel-vaulted ceiling. Although the chapel's interior walls and ceiling are lavishly painted with paintings by numerous Florentine Renaissance masters, the chapel's façade is plain and unadorned.
