If you are visiting the city there is something you need to do: to visit the Vatican Museums. Inside you will find some of the most beautiful artistic pieces like the  The Entombment of Christ (Caravaggio), or the amazing Sistine Chapel.

To walk through the rooms of the museums is like an art overdose, because it is really big and each room deserved its time, but without any doubt, the main jew of the complex is the Sistine Chapel. It is the chapel of the St. Peter’s Basilica and it is known for being the place where the conclave is celebrated to choose the pope. Its decoration is beautiful and the frescoes are amaing, specially the ones of the vault and the basement, with the Final Judgment.
