Vatican City, a city-state surrounded by Rome, Italy, is the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church. It is a home to the Pope and a trove of iconic art and architecture. Its Vatican Museums house ancient Roman sculptures and the Sistine Chapel, famous for Michelangelo’s ceiling.

It was just amazing seeing the historical art work and sculptures.

St Peter’s Basilica was breath taking. Building commenced on 18th of April 1506 and was completed on 18 November 1626. We were dwarfed by the scale of everything in the building. This in it’s turn overwhelming us. It was really amazing.

Vatican Museum had a big selection of art display works form the immense collection amassed by Popes throughout the centuries including some of the most renowned classical sculptures and most important masterpieces of Renaissance art in the world. The museum contains roughly about 70’000 works of which 20,000 are on display.


Sistine Chapel...wow o wow. It is a chapel in the Apostolic Place the official residence of the Pope in the Vatican City. Sistine Chapel ceiling was painted by Michelangelo and what an amazing artist he was. Between 1508 and 1512, Michelangelo painted the chapels ceiling, a project which changed the course of Western art and it regarded as one of the major artist accomplishments of human civilization.
