"Patricialuv's new Vatican Page " a Vatican City Travel Page by Patricialuv

Visiting the Vatican was a great experience! I got to check out St. Peter's Basilica, one of the biggest in the world! I even had the chance to attend to the Pope's Mass as well. The next day, I visited the Vatican Museum where the Sistine Chapel is located, along with numerous amounts of masterpieces by Raphael and many more from Michaelangelo. There are sculptures, books, paintings, frescos, maps, and beautiful views of the surroundinds of St. Peter's Basilica through the Vatican Museum. A must visit if you ever go to Rome!

The Basilica inside and out has marvelous artworks and thanks to geniuses such as Michelangelo, Bernini, Della Porta and other sculptors and painters, make the Basilica a work of art.

The beautifully detailed artwork, paintings, and statues with such realism, gave so much life and spirit to the Basilica. The meticulous care, all the decorations, with such fine materials used such as gold, marble, and the best woods, creates an amazing spectacular view. The interior of the domes, ceiling painting and columns that seem larger than life makes this one of the most famous and often visited churches of Italy.
