History

The Vatican Museums were established in the early 16th century by Pope Julius II to preserve and display the vast collection of art amassed by the popes. Today, they are among the largest museums in the world, with over 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) of galleries showcasing thousands of masterpieces by artists such as Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, and Caravaggio. The museum route concludes in the Sistine Chapel, renowned for Michelangelo's magnificent ceiling frescoes and The Last Judgment. Beyond its artistic significance, the chapel serves as the Pope's private chapel and is the sacred place where the College of Cardinals gathers to elect a new pope during the papal conclave.
