Sistine Chapel

Sistine Chapel is located at Vatican, the small country in Rome, Italy, which became the center of the Roman Catholic, because the Pope is living here.

This place is the venue to election for the new Pope or Papal conclave.

The Sistine Chapel ceiling was painted by Michaelangelo. He illustrated the Book of Genesis in the bible when Adam was given life by God. 

Look at the ceiling paintings, it's very beautiful.
