Nachricht von Clara Alessandra

The Sistine Chapel, located in the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City, is one of the most iconic chapels in the world. It was built between 1473 and 1481 under Pope Sixtus IV, and remains a place of both religious and functionary papal activity to this day. The chapel is famous for its grandiose frescos painted by some of the greatest Renaissance painters, such as Sandro Botticelli and Michelangelo. The ceiling of the chapel, famously painted by Michelangelo in 1508, changed the course of Western art and is regarded as one of the major artistic accomplishments of human civilization. Additionally, The Last Judgment, also painted by Michelangelo, along with the wall paintings done earlier by Fra Angelico were admired by visitors across the world. During elections for a new pope, the Sistine Chapel hosts the process of conclave - a series of ballots cast by Cardinals - displaying black or white smoke to inform the public if a Pope has been elected. The chapel remains a popular site for pilgrimage even after hundreds of years, a testament to its timeless beauty.
