Completed in the 15th century and later immortalized by Michelangelo's breathtaking frescoes in the 16th century, the chapel serves as both a sacred space and an artistic sanctuary. Gaze upwards at Michelangelo's ceiling, dominated by scenes from the Book of Genesis, including the iconic 'Creation of Adam,' a symbol of divine inspiration. On the altar wall, his monumental 'Last Judgment' portrays the dramatic climax of human history. Beyond its artistic significance, the Sistine Chapel holds immense spiritual importance as the site of papal conclaves, where cardinals gather to elect new popes.
