The Sistine Chapel is a famous chapel located in Vatican City, the official residence of the Pope. It was built between 1473 and 1481 by Pope Sixtus IV and is named after him. The chapel is known for its stunning frescoes, including the iconic ceiling and The Last Judgment, both painted by Michelangelo. These artworks have attracted visitors from all over the world for centuries. In addition to being a popular tourist attraction, the Sistine Chapel also serves as the venue for papal conclave, where a new pope is elected. So, it's not just a pretty place, but also an important part of the Catholic Church's history and tradition.
