Vatican City Essentials

Vatican City contains the world's most significant collection of Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces. This enclave houses Saint Peter’s Basilica, the largest church in Christendom, featuring Michelangelo’s dome and Bernini’s bronze baldachin. The Vatican Museums span several miles of galleries, culminating in the Sistine Chapel's ceiling frescoes and "The Last Judgment." Below the basilica lies the Vatican Necropolis, an ancient burial ground containing the purported tomb of Saint Peter. The monumental St. Peter’s Square, framed by Bernini’s quadruple colonnade, centers on an ancient Egyptian obelisk.
