Even though the Sistine Chapel was named after the Pope who commissioned its construction, Pope Sixtus IV, the real fame of the chapel came to it much later when Pope Julius II commissioned an artist by the name of Michelangelo to take on the job of putting a painting on the 10,000 foot Sistine Chapel ceiling.
On your way to view the Sistine Chapel and its amazing ceiling, you’ll find many other amazing artistic delights. Nearby to the Chapel is the Vatican Museum - a marvel that should require you to spend at least 1 - 2 days exploring its treasures. Also, St. Peter’s Basilica (with its magnificent Dome) contains Michaelangelo’s “The Pieta” - another treasure of the great artist himself.
