• Vatican Museums - Featuring 20,000 works on display, the Vatican Museums showcase pieces from the vast collection gathered by the Catholic Church and the papacy over the centuries. This includes some of the most famous Roman sculptures and significant masterpieces of Renaissance art globally.
• Museo Pio Clementino - Established in 1771 by Clement XIV and expanded by his successor Pius VI, the Pio-Clementino Museum exhibits Greek and Roman sculptures.
• Gallery of Maps - Commissioned in 1580 by Pope Gregory XIII, the Gallery of Maps features a series of painted topographical maps of Italy, based on drawings by the friar and geographer Ignazio Danti.
• Sistine Chapel - Constructed between 1473 and 1481, the Sistine Chapel is the venue for the papal conclave, the process of selecting a new pope. Its fame primarily stems from the frescoes adorning the interior, especially the Sistine Chapel ceiling and The Last Judgment, both created by Michelangelo.
• St. Peter’s Basilica - The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter is a masterpiece of Italian High Renaissance architecture. Initially planned in the 15th century by Pope Nicholas V and later by Pope Julius II to replace the aging Old St. Peter’s Basilica, which was built in the fourth century by Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. The construction of the current basilica began on April 18, 1506, and was completed on November 18, 1626.

Primarily designed by Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, and Carlo Maderno, with the piazza and fittings by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, St. Peter’s is one of the most celebrated works of Italian Renaissance architecture and is the largest church in the world by interior measurement. St. Peter’s is considered one of the holiest Catholic shrines.
