03:03The Sistine Chapel, in addition to serving as a Palatine Chapel, is the seat that hosts the
03:08Papa Conclave to elect a new Supreme Pontiff to lead the Catholic Church.
03:13The Sistine Chapel is located in the city of the Vatican, inside the Apostolic Palace.
03:20It was built between 1477 and 1481 under the mandate of Pope 6.4, from whom it takes its name, and
03:32designed by architects such as Giovanni del Dolce and Biascio Pontelli.
03:38The Sistine Chapel is a masterpiece of the Renaissance, an ensemble of religious art.
03:49Among the most famous artistic masterpiece inside the chapel is the Boat by Michelangelo,
03:56which was painted by the commission of Pope Julius II, including more than 300 figures.
04:04These hymns from Genesis, such as the creation of Adam, it also includes the Final Judgment,
04:11a work also by Michelangelo, that covers the main altar, which represents the Apocalypse,
04:19with Christ judging humanity.
04:22And on its side walls, it houses four skulls by Botticelli, Perugino, Ghirlandio and Rosselli,
04:33from the 15th century, representing the scenes from the life of Moises and Christ.
04:37Once again, these are live images inside St. Spirius Basilica.
