Pointing A Finger At Artistic Perfection
One of the world’s most iconic religious landmarks, the nearly 550-year old Sistine Chapel is best-known for the awe-inspiring Renaissance paintings that adorn its walls and ceiling, the work of Italy’s most famous ever artist, Michaelangelo.
Located in the Apostolic Palace (the official residence of the pope) in the heart of Vatican City, the chapel, is still used for specific religious ceremonies including, for the election of a new pope, and is a hugely popular attraction, drawing some 5 million visitors every year, which some experts believe makes it the most visited room on earth!
