1. Sistine Chapel
The Pope's domestic chapel, the Sistine Chapel, is a rectangular space
that is also used for worship and special occasions. The conclave to pick a
Pope's successor is convened here when he dies. Large murals of Biblical
events against a backdrop of Umbrian and Tuscan scenery, painted for Sixtus IV
by the most famous artists of the day - Perugino, Botticelli, Rosselli, Pinturicchio,
Signorelli, and Ghirlandaio - adorn the side walls of the palace.
Humanism is already present in these late-twentieth-century paintings,
which see humans as individuals and vital participants in history. 
2. Piazza San Pietro
Between 1656 and 1667, Bernini designed the great Piazza San Pietro in
front of the St. Peter's Basilica to serve as a gathering place for the faithful from
all over the world. It still fulfills that role wonderfully, and it is always full on Easter
Sunday and other major days.
 The façade of the basilica, on the other hand, is the focal point, since the
Pope dispenses his blessings and announces canonizations and beatifications
from its central balcony. The name of a new Pope elected by the conclave is also
announced here by the senior member of the College of Cardinals.
3. Museo Pio Celementino
The Vatican Museums house the world's biggest collection of ancient
sculpture, mostly from Rome and its environs, most of which is presented in a
systematic arrangement created by Popes Clement XIV and Pius VI between
1769 and 1799. Even a list of the highlights is a long one because these galleries
are so full of wonderful and noteworthy artifacts.
4. Vatican Gardens
In the 13th century, Pope Nicholas II commissioned the construction of the
first elements of the Vatican Gardens, which were intended to be a place of quiet
contemplation. The small city-groomed state's gardens, grassy areas, and
orchards have expanded to cover about half of the territory and rival the most
exquisite gardens in Italy over the years.
5. Etruscan Museum
It was founded in the mid-19th century by Pope Gregory XVI and contains
18 rooms of antiquities that give new information on the Etruscans' way of life
and belief in the afterlife. Not just burial goods, but also artifacts and things from
the ordinary lives of this fascinating people, have been discovered in Etruscan
graves all around Tuscany.
The grave goods found in Cerveteri's Regolini-Galassi tomb, including the
Mars of Todi, a head of Athena, and a number of fine Etruscan vases, stand out.
6. Vatican Library
Beautiful hand-illuminated Gospels, Biblical codices, early printed books,
parchment manuscripts, and antique scrolls and papyri can be seen in the 70-
meter-long hall, which was created by Domenico Fontana. The collection of
pontifical coins and medals, which was recently expanded, is also available in the
library.
With 7,000 incunabula (printed before 1501), 25,000 medieval hand-
written books, and 80,000 manuscripts amassed since the library's foundation in
1450, the Vatican Library is the world's most valuable library. That's just the
ancient books; it doesn't include all of the books that have been published since
the end of the 15th century, as well.
7. St. Peter's Basilica
The majestic St. Peter's Basilica was built between the 16th and 18th
centuries, replacing earlier structures that begun in 326 on what is supposed to
be where St. Peter was buried, and is one of the top destinations to see in the
Vatican. In the 16th century, it was the sale of indulgences to pay for this
structure that sparked Martin Luther's Protestant Reformation.
Before you enter the church, you'll notice Bernini's equestrian statue of
Constantine in the portico and Giotto's mosaic pieces above the main doorway,
 as well as Bernini's equestrian statue of Constantine in the portico. The double
bronze doors are also from the ancient church.
