Sistine Chapel
The Sistine Chapel is the papal chapel within the Apostolic Palace of Vatican City, renowned for its Renaissance frescoes by Michelangelo and for hosting papal conclaves. Built for Pope Sixtus IV in the late 15th century, it preserves cycles by leading Quattrocento painters and later additions including Michelangelo’s ceiling (1508–1512) and The Last Judgment (1536–1541).
