You will see work by Da Vinci, Titian, Veronese and Caravaggio.
For many visitors the highlight of this tour is the Sistine Chapel, consecrated in 1483 with decorated walls featuring the Life of Moses and the Life of Christ. Here you can see the world-famous Michelangelo's Ceiling depicting the story of Genesis, Creation of Adam and his Last Judgement fresco on the Altar wall. You will be given plenty of time to absorb this wondrous art before leaving to be taken to St Peter's Basilica, built on the site of the burial place of the first Pope, St Peter the Apostle. Walk around this vast structure, stroll along the marble floor and pause at the tombs of Popes. You will exit the Basilica through St Peter's Square (Piazza San Pietro) where thousands regularly gather to hear and see the Pope throughout the year.
